Nimble Group Namibia recently took part in the annual Winter Knights event, one of Namibia’s most significant charity drives. This event, which warmed hearts even while taking place in the cold, strongly resonates with our commitment to community support.
Organized by Round Table Namibia and supported by various local companies, the event aimed to collect essential items for those in need during the harsh winter months. Here’s a recap of our involvement and the impact we’re proud to have been a part of.
Rising to the Challenge
On the chilly morning of June 7th, our dedicated team of volunteers gathered at our office at 5:30 AM. Armed with warm cups of coffee and a shared purpose, we prepared to face the cold and collect donations from passing motorists.
A Unified Effort
Our team of fifteen volunteers, including several members of management, spread out across fourteen bustling lanes, approaching every car with hope and a smile. The initial challenge of the cold was quickly overcome by the warmth of the community’s generosity. A particularly memorable moment was when a biker stopped to make a substantial donation, boosting our morale.
A Record-Breaking Collection
By 7:45 AM, our efforts had resulted in twelve cans brimming with donations totalling N$11,500. We then headed to Round Table’s counting area and were thrilled to learn that the event had collected N$350,000 in donations. With additional pledges, the overall figure surpassed N$500,000—a stunning 20% increase over previous years. These funds, along with clothes and blankets, will be used to support those in dire need across the country.
Gratitude and Moving Forward
We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported the Winter Knights project, from our dedicated Nimble team to the generous donors. Your contributions have made a significant impact on the lives of many, providing warmth and hope during the cold winter months. Together, we have proven that by standing united, we can achieve remarkable things. Thank you to all the Winter Knights out there. Your generosity and support have made this possible.
Nimble Namibia is proud to have been part of the Winter Knights event and will continue to seek opportunities to give back and uplift those in need.
