Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Capricorn Group, along with its subsidiaries and the Capricorn Foundation, invested N$29.3 million in corporate social investment and sponsorship initiatives across Namibia and Botswana during the financial year ending June 30, 2026.
The group focused on education, community wellbeing, economic participation, sport, and sustainable development, believing that long-term success requires creating value for people and communities. The Capricorn Foundation prioritises building partnerships between communities, government, organisations, and other businesses to address complex challenges.
They believe lasting progress requires collaboration and shared purpose, going beyond simply providing funding to connect needs with resources and opportunities. By 2026, initiatives supported by the Capricorn Foundation were providing regular meals to over 11,000 people in Namibia. Nutrition programs reached 3,000 malnourished children, and 300 gardens improved food security. Approximately 35,000 children received early childhood development support, and hundreds of people gained skills through training programs.
The group allocated 25% of its social investment to education, believing it is key to long-term progress. Since 2020, the Capricorn Foundation has invested N$56.7 million in community initiatives. The Capricorn Group aims to increase the impact of its investments by strengthening partnerships and supporting sustainable solutions, focusing on lasting change rather than simply counting activities. They see social value as extending beyond financial returns, strengthening communities and creating opportunities for people to participate in the economy.
