PRESIDENT Hage Geingob kept his promise to donate part of his salary to needy people when he took charge.
Geingob now donates N$60 000 every month from his presidential salary to needy people.
The funds are used to assist the needy communities in the country.
This includes assisting young Namibians with further studies.
According to the press statement, the N$60 000 is also used to assist communities in Otavi, Otjiwarongo and Grootfontein in purchasing food and other necessities.
In 2015, Geingob made the pledge to set aside 20 percent of his salary to be used for the education of impoverished children, a promise he has since kept.
