A Look Back
Old Mutual’s commitment to community crime prevention initiatives started in 2015 through a partnership with the City Police for the Community Games and continued in 2018 with the Neighbourhood Watch (NHW) Association of Namibia in collaboration with the Namibian Police Force. This is in order to identify and capacitate struggling registered neighbourhood watches in Namibia with the material and equipment they required to strengthen their crime prevention efforts in their communities.
From 2018 to 2022, the Old Mutual Foundation has thus far made an investment of over N$650 000 towards the Neighbourhood Watch Programme by purchasing material and equipment that includes CCTV cameras, razor-mesh fencing, uniforms, chargeable flashlights, entrance boards, and magnetic stickers all sourced from local suppliers. This has substantially benefitted members of the various neighbourhood watches in the capital city.
In 2022, the Old Mutual Foundation revised its support format to make it accessible to all NHWs and CPG across the 14 regions of the country. The Old Mutual Foundation invited any fully registered NHWs and CPG to apply for sponsorship to the value of N$20 000. The Old Mutual Foundation supported five (5) NHWs or CPG for the year 2022, namely; the Walvis Bay Shoreline (Erongo), Gamsberg (Hardap), Oshakati Ext 16 (Oshana), Khomasdal (Khomas) and Freedomland (Khomas).
