On the 11th of April, 2025, Namibia witnessed a remarkable celebration of youth empowerment, leadership, and vision as our Youth Engagement & Advocacy Lead  Andreas Robert officially launched his much-anticipated book. The event, held at the NUST, brought together some of the nation's most respected leaders, intellectuals, and advocates for change — a clear testament to the profound impact Andreas continues to have across Namibia’s civic landscape.

​

Among the distinguished guests were His Excellency Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Epaphras Denga Ndaitwah, First Gentleman of Namibia; The Right Honourable Prof. Peter Katjavivi, former Speaker of the National Assembly; the UNESCO Country Lead for Namibia; representatives from the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST); and Prof. Alfons Mosimane, Executive Dean at the University of Namibia, delegated by the Vice Chancellor to represent UNAM Main Campus.

​

Their presence was more than ceremonial — it was a resounding endorsement of the values Andreas stands for: education, civic participation, and the unwavering belief that young voices can and must shape the future of Namibia.

​

Throughout the evening, guests reflected on Andreas’ journey — from his leadership roles with UNFPA, the Municipality of Okahandja, and Miss NGO Namibia, to his growing influence as a national advocate for equity and sustainable development. His book captures this journey, offering both a mirror and a roadmap for Namibia’s rising generation.

​

In his address, Andreas spoke of dreams born from struggle, of leadership forged through service, and of a future that demands courage from the youth. "This book is not just my story," he reminded the audience. "It is a testament to every young Namibian daring to believe that they too can lead, create, and transform."

​

As the evening drew to a close, one thing was unmistakably clear: this was not just a book launch. It was the beginning of a larger movement — one led by young people, inspired by tradition, and driven by an unshakable commitment to a more inclusive and sustainable Namibia.

​

We congratulate Andreas Robert on this incredible milestone — and we look forward to the chapters he will continue to write, not just in books, but in the story of Namibia itself.
