Old Mutual has over the past seven years
contributed over N$ 400,000 towards the WAD Field Days and the promotion of the
work of this excellent grass-roots support programme. With these funds - and
apart from the other noteworthy training workshops which WAD is conducting
country wide, close to 3000 unemployed and unskilled people were trained and graduated
in various skills, including Computer Literacy, Office Administration,
Hospitality, Effective Project Management, Horticulture, Catering, Tailoring
and Bread-baking. The result was that an impressive number of young people have
found job placements in the labour market or started their own
income-generating ventures.
