Woermann, Brock & Co. recently celebrated its 126th anniversary with the Win&Give promotion. A total of N$1.1 million in cash and shopping vouchers was won by customers.

The Give part of the promotion was a WB We Care Trust initiative whereby the eight main prize winners in the competition got the opportunity to select an organisation to receive a N$20 000 voucher.

The WB We Care Trust was established in 2008 with a mission to support Namibians who are affected by HIV, orphans and widows, people with disabilities and the elderly in need. The trust hopes to become involved in all communities in surrounding areas of all WB Stores.

This is the list of major winners and their selected organisations. All of them already received their N$20,000 vouchers.
