The Namibia Women in Finance and Insurance Organisation (NAMWIFI) has officially launched its Mentorship Programme, following its debut at the 2025 Women in Finance and Insurance Summit earlier this year.
The programme began on 18 September 2025 with the first session held at NamibRe offices in Windhoek, marking the start of a six-month initiative aimed at supporting women in Namibia’s finance and insurance sectors.
NAMWIFI said the mentorship programme provides a safe and inspiring space for women to grow personally and professionally. Monthly sessions will cover themes including leadership, emotional intelligence, communication and self-awareness, with an emphasis on interactive and practical learning.
A distinctive element of the programme is the inclusion of group coaching sessions facilitated by certified coach and professional photographer Susan Nel. NAMWIFI said her creative approach uses photography as a tool to help participants gain clarity, shift perspectives and unlock their potential.
The organisation added that the programme is built on mutual respect and commitment between mentors, sponsors and mentees. Participants are expected to attend all sessions, engage actively and apply their learning in both personal and professional contexts.
NAMWIFI stated that empowering women in finance and insurance is central to building a stronger and more inclusive industry. It described the mentorship programme as a step towards creating lasting change and nurturing the next generation of women leaders in Namibia.
