Old Mutual Foundation pledges N$100 000 to empower entrepreneurs through OM SEED 4.0.
The Old Mutual Foundation is proud to announce the launch of the fourth and final leg of its flagship entrepreneurship initiative, the Old Mutual Sustainable, Economic and Empowerment Drive (OM SEED), under the theme: “Rooted in Growth for Sustainability.”
OM SEED 4.0 marks the culmination of a nationwide journey that began in 2022, having empowered over 100 entrepreneurs across various regions with seed funding, mentorship, and business development support. This year, the initiative will focus on the final four regions:
• Omaheke Region
• Otjozondjupa Region
• Omusati Region
• Kunene Region
The theme “Rooted in Growth for Sustainability” underscores Old Mutual’s commitment to fostering meaningful, sustainable entrepreneurship rooted in community while empowering individuals to take ownership of their growth and social impact.
“Through OM SEED, we are not only supporting local entrepreneurs with funding but creating ecosystems of accountability, resilience, and purpose. This final edition gives us an opportunity to cement the legacy of what OM SEED has meant for Namibian entrepreneurs, a platform to rise, to grow, and to truly own their impact,” said Patricia Olivier, Chairperson of the Old Mutual Foundation.
Entrepreneurs in the above-mentioned regions should deliver their applications by Monday, 30 June 2025. Application forms can be downloaded by scanning the official OM SEED QR code or collected and submitted at the below locations.
All application forms must be printed and delivered, and no online applications are allowed.
• Omaheke- At the Old Mutual Gobabis Branch
• Otjozondjupa - At the Old Mutual Otjiwarongo Branch
• Omusati - At the Old Mutual Outapi Branch
• Kunene – Spar Opuwo (at Christian Cloete)
QR codes will also be available on Old Mutual’s social media platforms and at local municipality offices, regional councils, and Old Mutual branches.
Each region will see three winners walk away with seed funding of N$50 000 (1st place), N$30 000 (2nd place), and N$20 000 (3rd place) respectively, along with financial and business skills training, mentorship, and post-programme incubation support.
