Namibia’s Paralympic athletes first arrived in the Netherlands in 2018, marking a pivotal moment in their journey and training efforts. The Dutch branch of the Foundation was established to provide these athletes with access to training facilities, healthcare, and support systems outside their home country. Elisa Ostet, chair of the Dutch chapter explains: the Dutch branch is crucial not only for physical preparation but also for creating a bridge between the athletes’ local roots and their international ambitions.

The collaboration between the Namibian and Dutch branches continues to strengthen, ensuring seamless support and shared knowledge that empowers the athletes both on and off the track. Beyond training, the focus remains on holistic development, helping athletes build careers, manage their wellbeing, and navigate life beyond sport.

This ongoing support of the Dutch branch is a testament to the Foundation’s commitment to nurturing talent and opening doors for Namibian para-athletes on the global stage. The athletes have trained here for many championships and events, like Tokyo2020 and Paris2024. It became their second home.

By 2020, Sport on the Move athletes had traveled far, from Rio to international competitions and training camps in the Netherlands, all aiming for Tokyo 2020. Then COVID-19 changed everything. The Games were postponed for the first time in history. Borders closed, events were canceled, and uncertainty took over. Still, the athletes stayed strong, driven by resilience and inner motivation.

The one-year delay required patience and discipline from athletes, coaches, volunteers, and families. Even when the world seemed to stand still, the goal stayed clear.

In 2021, Namibia’s team arrived in Tokyo, showing years of dedication. Ananias Shikongo, with guides Even Tjiviju and Sem Shimanda, won silver in the Men’s T11 400m. Johannes Nambala earned bronze in the Men’s T13 400m. Their medals proved that the success in Rio was no accident. Namibian para-athletes continue to inspire through their perseverance.

Lahja Ish*tile, supported by Sport on the Move, competed in her second Paralympics and finished sixth in the Women’s T11 400m. She is a rising star for Namibia’s future.

As we celebrate 10 years of Sport on the Move, we are excited to launch our anniversary book tomorrow. It shares the stories and moments that shaped our journey.

On Friday the 7th of March 2025 Ananias Shikongo and Johannes Nambala under the umbrella of Sport on the Move Foundation visited Eluwa Resource School in Ongwediva, where they have schooled. The purpose of this visit was not only to honor the school' contributions towards their sport achievements, but also to give back, to encourage learners to engage in sport and to remind them that they can achieve anything in life if they put their effort into it. It is important to motivate learners with disabilities to know that they should not only rely on education but sport can also be a way to achieve their goals. Sport on the Move Foundation is contributing these sport equipment to support government's effort to promote sport. As a wise man said :"Blessed is the hand that gives but not that take":
