Rössing Uranium continues to live by its Motto of “Working for Namibia” through its Corporate Social Investment (CSI) activities, benefiting communities in Namibia.

Annually, the Company has a set plan of community activities to which it contributes, in addition to the reactive support given to requesting projects.

In 2022, Rössing Uranium has again expanded its CSI footprint beyond the Erongo region communities in which it operates. The support given to communities ranges from Education, Health, Safety, Environment, Youth and Sports.

Rössing Uranium donated N$50,000 towards the first Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) conference, which was hosted in Windhoek.

In the area of local football, the Kunene Governor’s cup received backing from Rössing Uranium, with N$20,000, and the same support was given to the Erongo Governor’s Cup.

Rössing Uranium honoured its commitment to the Willem Borchard Primary School (WBPS) in Okombahe, through the mine’s three-year Bigger -than-Me project where a feeding scheme kitchen was set up, as well as funding a week-long environmental excursion for the learners from WBPS to NaDEET at the NamibRand Centre.

Other major donations made by Rössing Uranium in 2022 include the following:

Donation of N$80,000 to the Swakopmund Nampol Reservist team. This follows a request by the Reservist team to purchase a second-hand vehicle for their operations.
