Namibia to Hold National Prayer Day Against Road Accidents in Windhoek
By TUW
A National Prayer Day aimed at promoting road safety and remembering victims of road accidents will take place in Windhoek on Wednesday, bringing together churches, law enforcement agencies and road safety stakeholders.
The event has been organised by the Council of Churches in Namibia (CCN) in collaboration with the Namibian Police, the National Road Safety Council (NRSC) and the Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) Fund.
According to organisers, the prayer gathering will be held on 13 May 2026 at 15h00 under the bridge along the B1 Road/Western Bypass Road near the B1 Service Station opposite Katutura State Hospital.
The initiative is expected to focus on raising awareness about road safety, encouraging responsible driving behaviour and offering prayers for families affected by road crashes across the country.
Church leaders, community representatives and members of the public have been encouraged to attend the event as part of broader efforts to address the growing concern over road accidents in Namibia.
The event will be held under the theme scripture from Psalm 46, which states: “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”
Road safety remains a major concern in Namibia, with authorities and stakeholders continuing to call for greater caution and responsibility among road users to reduce fatalities and accidents on the country’s roads.
