Waltons Namibia recently supported the Women at Work Training Centre by sponsoring 15 boxes of printing paper for manuals and study material. Adine Persendt, office administrator at the training centre, and Eunice Mudjanima received the paper. Eunice, a former student, is now assisting in training other home management students and represents just one of their success stories at the training centre in Suiderhof.
“Sponsorships to organizations like Woman at Work is part of our corporate obligation to maintain a balance between the economy, the ecosystems and the environment,” says Janine Briedenhann, marketing manager of Waltons. “Waltons' social responsibility goal is to be involved actively in society by performing activities which directly advance social goals,” she says.
Waltons Namibia is the only national, regional and local supplier in Namibia who offers a complete office supplies solution and its product portfolio consists of 7 000 listed lines to cater for all customer needs.
