The Old Mutual Foundation focuses on capacity building and empowerment through the Old Mutual Women’s Summit which was launched in 2011 and aims to invest in future decision-makers and engage their interest proactively through offering a useful networking and mentoring platform.

The Old Mutual Foundation hosted its 12th annual Women’s Summit in Swakopmund. The theme was “Securing your Financial Future” and saw over 140 women in attendance.

Nicolette Mashile, renowned South African broadcaster - and bestselling author of “What’s your move,” headlined the summit alongside Namibian speakers Colette Rieckert, Hermien Elago and Afra Schimming-Chase.

During the summit, the speakers focused on how they overcame various adversities and life events that enabled them to be the people they are today. Elago spoke about how your health is your wealth and the importance it plays to your total well-being. Rieckert touched on how her desire to provide better education opportunities for her children led to her embarking on a journey to build the Windhoek Gymnasium Private School. Schimming- Chase highlighted how, as an individual, you are your most important creditor.
