16 Walvis Bay Students Receive Financial Aid

Sixteen vulnerable students from the Walvis Bay Urban Constituency have received financial assistance through the Erongo Regional Council’s Student Support Programme to help them pursue tertiary education.

The Walvis Bay Urban Constituency Office on Thursday handed over proof of payment to the beneficiaries, with priority given to students studying in the medical field to help address the country’s growing demand for healthcare professionals.

Speaking at the handover ceremony, Walvis Bay Urban Constituency Councillor Albertina Nkoshi said education remains one of the most effective tools for transforming lives, reducing poverty and advancing Namibia’s socio-economic development.
