The Capricorn Group, in their role as changemakers recently handed over 90 blankets, 100 socks, beanies, scarves, gloves, toiletries and nappies to the children and caregivers at the Hope Village in Windhoek’s Goreangab community.

The group also assisted with the centre’s upgrade, by painting two baby rooms, building a jungle gym, organising and tidying rooms, and serving hearty meals while interacting with some of the centre’s children.

Marlize Horn, Capricorn Group’s Group Executive for Brand and Corporate Affairs, told Nampa on Monday that it was a day filled with much fun and laughter, as Changemakers painted away and shared special moments with the children at the centre through a variety of activities and games.

“We are happy that every single child at Hope Village has received a new blanket for the winter, amongst other things, and it’s all thanks to the generosity of our employees. We are proud to provide opportunities for our employees to be changemakers in the community and to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate,” she said.

Horn went on to say that Capricorn Group is committed to its brand promise of being Connectors of Positive Change and will continue to look for ways to make a difference in the communities to ensure a long-term impact.

Hope Village cares for 80 orphans, vulnerable, abandoned children and children infected and/or affected by HIV/AIDS, between the ages of nine months to 27 years.
