Big boost for Rhino Momma Project
The Rhino Momma Project was the biggest winner of Neo Paints’ recently held Big 5 promotion, having received N$100 000 from the Namibian paint manufacturer.According to Neo Paints managing director Victor Boshoff, they take on a big promotion at the end of each year that focuses on ploughing back into the community.
“Last year we asked ourselves where we could make a positive difference. Given that Covid hit the tourism industry hard, we decided to give back to the tourism industry, while adding to the Namibian economy at the same time.
“Part of this economy is tourists that come to encounter our wildlife. Everyone would like to see a rhino in real life and rhinos are also close to everyone's heart. We also found that the Rhino Momma Project is a wonderful cause and we need to do everything in our power to save them for posterity,” he said.
As part of the promotion, for all sales of selected Neo Paints products that ran through dealers and hardware stores, the company would donate N$3 towards the project.
Naturally, there were also a number of prizes for participating customers, including two nights (all inclusive) at the Kifaru Luxury Lodge valued at over N$10 000. Other prizes included cash, paint and in-store giveaways.
