During the time of the Twaloloka disaster of 2020 Round Table Walvis Bay 36 immediately jumped in and assisted the victims with household items, clothing, food, tents, and the soup kitchen (Along with T.A.S.K.). We gained major traction on our Facebook page and many companies and individuals contacted us to find out where they could help. Many donations were received from all over Namibia and some even from outside our borders. The surplus of donations were too much, so we started distributing to other areas and people in need. Only then did we start seeing the impact that Covid19 had on our town. Many families with no income reached out needing assistance. Many people had been retrenched; many businesses closed. But people still needed to eat. We then came up with the food parcel idea. One food parcel of non-perishable food, valued at around N$500, could feed a family of four for up to a month. Round Table received a major donation of N$200,000 from Namib Desert Diamonds (PTY) Ltd, and a further amazing N$31,200 donation from PSG Namibia to fund this project. In essence, this is our Feed-a-Family Project in Walvis Bay and we need your donations so we can continue doing what needs to be done.
Progress:
We have assisted a soup kitchen (T.A.S.K) in feeding over 4000 people (Mainly kids)
We have donated, along with Mayor of Walvis Bay Trevinho Forbes, smaller food packs to 250 of the elderly in old age homes.
And finally, to September 2024, we have assisted a whopping 523 families, from all walks of life, with food parcels.
