Help fund transport for OYO to reach schools

As you know, the Ombetja Yehinga Organisation (OYO) is a Namibian NGO that uses Arts to create social awareness.

End of 2023, we started a campaign to try and raise fund for a much-needed car. If you know us, you know we work tirelessly to reach young people, especially in remote area. However, to be able to reach students in school or young people in the field, we need transport. 

As you know, we could buy one Isuzu, our only car, in 2024 by taking a loan. It means that every month we need to secure Euro 500 to repay the loan. This is not an easy task. 

We have also sold our quantums (well, first one is sold and second one is about to be sold) – in order to be able to buy a new one. We are now looking at options to get a cheap second-hand sedan – as working with only 2 transports is too difficult. 

So, we are not yet sorted out. But we are moving forward. From three very old cars, we now have two new ones (even though of course we are still paying for the Isuzu, and will continue paying for the next 5 years). 

We will keep this page opened for as long as it takes to pay for the new car – the loan is for 5 more years. If you know anybody who can support us, please do share with them. We still struggle with transport, but we are grateful for the support we receive. In those times of uncertainty, we know that every donation is precious. Every cent helps, and we appreciate all donations equally. We do appreciate you. 

Together, we know we can make a difference.

With many thanks and warmest regards

Philippe
