THE Rani Group of Companies has planned to invest N$3 million to procure 300 wheelchairs that would be donated to various authorities in Namibia over the next two years to assist people in need.
This was revealed by group founder Ali Dharani during a recent meeting with the Inspector-General of the Namibian Police, lieutenant General Sabastian Ndeitunga, at Oshakati.
Dharani said that they have so far donated 150 wheelchairs to various ministries. The Ministry of Safety and Security, the Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture and The Ministry of Health and Social Services received 40 wheelchairs each while the Office of the Prime Minister received 30.
Dharani noted that the company expects to procure about 300 wheelchairs and they intend to give to all 14 regional governors for the benefit of their respective communities.
“We intend to hand over 20 wheelchairs to each of the 14 regional governors by the end of the ear,” he added.
General Ndeitunga welcomed the donation by the group of companies and said that the donation will benefit the men and women in the uniform that have been injured in the line of duty.
The General said that the beneficiaries have already retired but are still being looked after by the Namibian Police.
