Project "Co-Feed Namibia" is a citizen-driven initiative whose purpose is to mobilize food supplies and other basic necessities for distribution to the vulnerable within our communities in response to the national lockdown necessitated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Co-Feed Namibia aims to provide a platform for willing citizens to create an impact by assisting directly to mitigate the inevitable shortage of basic necessities expected amongst the vulnerable members of our community.
Our key FOCUS is to coordinate volunteer efforts, donation and pledges from ordinary citizens and businesses. As a community-driven volunteer initiative, the project seeks to complement the overall efforts initiated by the Namibian Government and shall follow established guidelines from the relevant public offices.
Our project does not collect or handle any cash contributions.
Our targeted groups are vulnerable communities, particularly residents from informal settlements and those that are likely to be impacted the most under a prolonged lockdown scenario. To maximize our effort, Co-feed Namibia will rely on donations from both individuals and businesses
Individual donation for basket(s) Individuals can purchase grocery items that will make up a complete basket with predetermined essential goods to be donated. For this option individuals will need to sort and package goods themselves in individual baskets according to agreed quantities ready for collection.
Residents wishing to donate, such donations can be dropped off during a morning/afternoon walk at a centralized location, or placed at front gates for collection at identified time slots. Centralised information will be dispatched via the respective Neighbourhood Watch group.
