The first raffle is organized by the ADS (Association of Diplomatic Spouses), with all proceeds going directly to good causes across Namibia. Alongside the opportunity to contribute, participants can also look forward to winning a range of exceptional prizes. These include flights, lodge stays, game safaris, hotel stays, guided tours, and beautifully crafted handmade items—making it an experience that combines generosity with a touch of excitement.
The second raffle is hosted by the PE team of WIS (Windhoek International School) and follows a 50/50 format. This means that participants have the chance to win a cash prize, while the remaining funds will be invested in new PE equipment for the school.
By joining either—or both—raffles, visitors can enjoy the excitement of the draw while contributing to initiatives that benefit both the wider community and the students.
ADS Raffle tickets are already available at WIS at the International Festival Info Point (everyday at pick-up).
The experience is designed for all ages, making it an ideal activity for families, students, and anyone with a sense of curiosity about the world beyond our own.
