Macmillan Education Namibia donates €1,000.00 to S.P.E.S. Charity!

As part of Springer Nature's Progress in Action campaign, Macmillan Education Namibia remains committed to supporting our local communities. 

Earlier this week, we donated the amount of €1,000.00 to S.P.E.S. Charity, which serves the less fortunate children and youth in our country by helping them step out of poverty through encouragement, education and support.

S.P.E.S. Charity works with 15 informal pre-schools in marginalised areas of Windhoek, providing training for preschool teachers, stationery and teaching aids as well as daily meals and emotional support to disadvantaged children. 

The Charity aims to empower the children by creating sustainable change for the future without over-reliance on others. The donated funds will be used to support the Charity's ongoing initiatives. 

Our Sales and Marketing Representative, Liina Nandago, visited one of the pre-schools to officially hand over MEN's donation to S.P.E.S. Charity's Director, Esmé Coetzee.

Welcoming New Energy: A Bright Start to 2026 at Macmillan Education Namibia

Back‑to‑school season is always a busy time at Macmillan Education Namibia, and this year has been no different. Now that the dust has settled on book packing and deliveries to regional offices, we’ve finally had a moment to look back on the start of the year and reflect on what lies ahead.

Welcoming Liina to the Team as she begins
her journey with Macmillan Education Namibia

In February, we were delighted to welcome a new face to the Macmillan Team. Liina Nandago has joined us as our new Sales and Marketing Representative. She comes with a strong network within the education sector and brings an energetic, goal‑driven approach that aligns perfectly with our plans for the year.

Looking ahead, our focus is on strengthening sustainable operations, increasing brand visibility and awareness, and deepening our support to schools. This includes more regular school visits, engagement with educators, and contributing to the sector through sponsorship of events and prize-giving ceremonies.

Of course, we’ve also taken a moment to nurture team spirit. Our early Valentine’s Day celebration, complete with themed refreshments and good humour, added a cheerful touch to the month and reminded us of the value of connection in our daily work.
