𝗦𝗗𝗚𝗜𝗙 – Window 1 Grant Recipient. @powersixinvestments Power is a manufacturing company that specializes in up-cycling scrap material to make furniture & other household products. All materials used are locally sourced i.e. oil barrels with additional materials such as cushions, foam & leather. “Power Six’s target market is the Hospitality Industry, and this was one of the industries that COVID-19 hit the hardest. It really affected our business badly, and this is the reason we applied for the SDGIF grant, as a means of financial assistance, recovery and eventually growth. Funding remains the main reason why some ideas are still on papers for years and some businesses have closed down. This is a very important platform and we give thanks to all stakeholders on board.” #SDGIF #SDGs

During the #COVID19 pandemic it is important to take care of your physical and mental health. Tip: Eat healthy foods and make sure you get enough sleep. #MentalHealthMatters #DoYourPart #LoveProtects

𝗦𝗗𝗚𝗜𝗙 – Window 1 Grant Recipient. VNA Native Foods is a Namibian company that produces powdered soups. They aim to add value to indigenous Namibian food, by commercializing & developing local food production and providing jobs to as many 🇳🇦 as possible. “We applied for the grant in order to cover some important expenses and to assist with our growth. These expenses include the Omboga we buy from farmers, our marketing, the warehouse lease, paying of employee salaries and other business expenses. Namibia has long had a problem of value addition and a lack of commercialization of indigenous products. VNA Native Foods thus aims to tackle these issues through the production & distribution of said indigenous food products.” #SDGIF #SDGs
