In April 2023, the German Embassy handed over a donation of sports equipment to the Mungongi Foundation to the value of 4,900 EURO (circa 90,000.00 NAD). The equipment included soccer kits, balls, referee kits, first aid equipment and trophies.

The Mungongi Foundation is a registered non-governmental organization, based at Musese village in Kavango West, which runs a soccer and netball league for young adults aged 15-34. They have been in operation since 2016 and use sports as a means to fight social illnesses such as crime, alcohol and drug abuse and gender-based violence. The NGO advocates for the betterment of livelihoods at grassroots level for the communities in Kavango West, for example by facilitating the voluntary HIV/AIDS testing and circumcision for the youth in its programme.
