Steps for Vets
Namibia walks for wildlife’s unsung heroes
Outdoor Centre, in collaboration with Femedia, has announced the launch of Steps for Vets, a nationwide virtual walk dedicated to supporting veterinary care for rhinos in Namibia.The initiative invites individuals, schools, and companies to walk, jog, or run any distance, anywhere, anytime between 18 and 27 November.
“Behind every rhino that survives an injury, there’s a veterinarian who has dedicated their life to saving Namibia’s wildlife,” said Yolanda Nel, founder of Femedia. “Steps for Vets gives everyone, from school children to companies, a simple and active way to make a real difference.”
Participants can register via PayToday Event, choosing from various entry options:
• Individuals: N$100
• Kindergartens / Homeschool Groups: N$250
• Primary & High Schools: N$500

Once you bought your ticket or made a donation on PayToday, send a screenshot of your payment and a screenshot of your route completed to 081 250 8515 by 27 November.
Outdoor Centre is known for inspiring adventure and a deep connection with Namibia’s great outdoors, a brand built on exploration, endurance, and appreciation of nature. Partnering with Femedia, a social impact and communications agency dedicated to developing purpose-driven projects that make a tangible difference, this campaign reflects a shared commitment to protecting the country’s natural heritage.
Participants are encouraged to share their journey on social media using #StepsForVets, inspiring others to join the cause and helping spread awareness about Namibia’s wildlife conservation efforts.
“Each step is a statement that we care about the people and animals who define Namibia’s wild beauty,” added Willem van Heerden, General Manager of Outdoor Centre.
