  Rossing Foundation: Arandis
Over the years, Rössing Uranium invested much effort in the development and training of Arandis residents, but between 1994 and 2000 the company gradually began to disengage itself from non-mining activities, which meant that its community activities at Arandis were no longer supported.
All three schools in Arandis, namely the Arandis Junior Primary School, the UB Dax Senior Primary School, and the Kolin Foundation Senior Secondary School, continued to receive support from the Rössing Foundation during 2006.
A total of 17 Arandis participants were trained in rendering home-based care; caring for people living with HIV/AIDS and malaria; the use of condoms and femidoms; dealing with stigmatisation; and sustaining sexual and reproductive health.
