The “Dare to Care Fund” was established in 2000 to provide at that time assistance to victims of veld fires by members of the agricultural sector. Since then the Dare to Care Disaster Fund has assisted many victims of flood areas, farm attacks, San Bushmen, etc.

​

The whole agricultural sector, including the Namibia Emerging Commercial Farmers Union (NECFU), Namibia Agricultural Union (NAU), and the private sector in Namibia, decided to join hands under the “Dare to Care” umbrella to make a contribution to all drought-stricken farmers to survive the drought. These include communal, emerging commercial and commercial farmers across the country.
