Namibia Breweries Limited (NBL) last week announced the renewal of its partnership with the Hanns Seidel Foundation Namibia (HSF). This collaboration continues to focus on

Enhancing community impact through sustainable and innovative projects.

As part of NBL’s commitment to the "Brew a Better World 2030 Strategy," the partnership with HSF has been instrumental in driving social impact initiatives within the community.

The renewed partnership will see both organizations working together to further their efforts in climate-smart agriculture, water conservation, and community education.

Franklin Angermund, public affairs and sustainability manager at NBL said its support aligned with its commitment to make a positive impact.

“We are thrilled to renew our partnership with the Hanns Seidel Foundation Namibia. This collaboration aligns with our commitment to making a positive impact in our communities and contributing to sustainable development. We look forward to continuing our work to make a positive impact into the communities we serve," said Angermund.



Key Highlights of the Partnership

The partnership aims to enhance knowledge, skills training, and capacity in climate-smart agriculture to improve food security while reducing water usage. The project will continue to improve the Aquaponics-Systems for Educational Institutions at three operational sites: Henties Bay Sam Nujoma Campus, Arid Eden Project, and Outapi DAPP Vocational Training Center.

NBL has committed N$190 092 for 2024 and has committed to invest another N$570 000 over the following three years. This financial support aims to foster the growth and stability of the project.

The project will focus on water reduction, food production, community involvement, execution of educational workshops, and delivery of training materials.

The project has already shown significant progress in reducing water usage and improving food production compared to traditional agriculture methods. Community involvement has been a key factor in the success of the project, with revised training materials and planned educational workshops for all three sites nationwide.
