RMR also donated learning materials and educational tools to the Women’s Community Project (WCP) at the DRC informal settlement in Swakopmund. WCP is led by Anja Rohwer, and includes a new school building and kindergarten which accommodates 100 children, a soup kitchen and a fruit and vegetable garden.

RMR also handed 10 oxygen generators designed and built by the Namibian company Better Earth Everyday to Swakopmund-based Ciske’s Task Force and the Walvis Bay-based Erongo Regional Corona Care Initiative.
The O²C Nam oxygen concentrators are made specifically for Namibian conditions, and produce 10 litres per minute of 94% concentrated oxygen and is built not only to support the local industry but also ensuring the availability of local maintenance and repairs.

Kärner said, “The reason why RMR is committed to support these communities in a sustainable and responsible way is that the company believes in creating long-term value for its stakeholders and communities in which it operates.”
