Our Mission
At OWYD, our mission extends beyond the eradication of social and societal discriminations. We are dedicated to strengthening the participation and involvement of women and young people in the development of our nation. By fostering inclusivity and empowerment, we aim to contribute to a future where gender equality is paramount, social disparities are reduced, and the active engagement of women and youth becomes a driving force for national development.
Education
OWYD is committed to breaking down barriers to education. Our scholarship programs aim to provide financial support to talented and deserving individuals, ensuring that lack of resources does not hinder their pursuit of knowledge. By investing in education, we believe we are investing in the future leaders of Namibia.
We are passionate about promoting gender equality in STEM fields. Through our STEM initiatives, we inspire and support young girls to explore and pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. By breaking down stereotypes, we are opening up new possibilities for the next generation.
advocacy and community development
OWYD actively champions the cause of gender equality. Through advocacy efforts, we work towards the establishment of policies that challenge discriminatory practices and stereotypes. Our aim is to create a society where opportunities are not limited by gender, and where the potential of every individual is recognized and celebrated.
We stand against gender-based violence in all its forms. OWYD runs campaigns to raise awareness, provide support to victims, and advocate for policies that protect women and youth from violence. Our goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where everyone can thrive.
