Capricorn Foundation and the Lithon Foundation hosts an NGO Capacity Building Workshop

On Friday, 3 November 2023, the Capricorn Foundation and the Lithon Foundation joined forces to host a significant event: the NGO Capacity Building Workshop in Namibia. Themed “Strengthening the Management of NGOs to Foster Socio-economic Developed Communities in Namibia,” the workshop was well attended, reflecting the collective sentiment for enhancing the capabilities of Non-profit organisations (NPOs).

The workshop served as a platform for knowledge exchange, empowering NPOs to manage their organisations effectively and navigate the donor landscape, both locally and internationally. The Capricorn Foundation and the Lithon Foundation are known for their Corporate Social Investment (CSI) initiatives and have consistently contributed to the upliftment of Namibian communities. Their partnership with NPOs, including non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and social welfare entities, emphasises their belief in the critical role played by these organisations in fostering Namibia’s socio-economic development.

At the event, Marlize Horn, Executive Officer of the Capricorn Foundation, said, “We applaud NPOs and NGOs for the critical role you play in society. The Capricorn Foundation is committed to being Connectors of Positive Change. Therefore, workshops like this have become our priority, where we can support other NGOs by exchanging knowledge and empowering you to navigate this landscape.”
