The annual campaign to collect donations by means of making the public donate the equivalent of the price for a cup of coffee into special donation boxes set up at popular restaurants, brought thousands of dollars in donations. The money collected in boxes set up at companies, was in many cases doubled by these companies. In total N$ 112,000 were collected. An overjoyed Kurt Johannesson, CEO of the Cancer Association of Namibia said the collected funds had overtaken all expectations.

"We don’t receive any money from the government and are therefore dependent on donations", he said.
