the Round Table Welwitschia 213’s Mental Health Project

As part of the Round Table Welwitschia 213’s Mental Health Project, I participated in a live interview to discuss the upcoming Stationary Marathon — a unique awareness and fundraising event aimed at supporting mental health in Namibia.

During the interview, I explained the concept of the Stationary Marathon for those unfamiliar with it, detailing how it works and its symbolic connection to the mental health journey. I also highlighted why Round Table chose mental health as the focus this year, aiming to break the stigma and encourage open conversations around mental wellbeing.

We spoke about the message the event hopes to send to Namibians who may be struggling in silence, and how the broader public — including companies and individuals — can get involved, either through sponsorship, participation, or spreading awareness.

Finally, I touched on the long-term goals of the initiative, emphasizing the hope that it will inspire ongoing dialogue, support mental health services, and create lasting impact beyond just the event day.
