Our Centre in Ondangwa is taking shape

KAYEC is building a new TVET Centre in Ondangwa, and we invite you to be part of it. Every donation or pledge, no matter how small, makes a real difference towards completing the centre.

You can support the centre with:

  • Building materials – cement, steel, pipes and bricks for a strong foundation
  • N$ cash donations – financial support that drives the project forward
  • Training material – PCs, laptops and tables to equip our learners
  • A training workshop – skills facilities that last for generations

To pledge or discuss a donation, call +264 81 127 5931 or email jmundukuta@kayec.org.na
