From Namsos to Zambia

Meet Brave Heart

Pure Norwegian Seafood AS is sponsoring the charity organization Brave Heart. Braveheart´s founder is former refugee Stephen Kaumba, who in Namsos started collecting empty bottles to send money to a refugee settlement that he had been living in. The refugee settlement is located in Meheba, Zambia. Around 30 000 people live there today under challenging living conditions.

One small action of kindness that lead to Brave Heart

Today, 10 years after Stephen started collecting empty bottles, Brave Heart is still helping refugees. Brave Heart runs a clinic that treats around 5000 patients yearly, and an orphanage that houses 17 orphans. Furthermore, they contribute to around 300 children getting an education that they otherwise would not have access to. To us it is therefore meaningful to contribute to young people finding a way out of poverty. Brave Heart has 65 employees who work in Meheba, giving the refugees better living conditions, education and health care.

Strengthening societies both at Averøy and in Zambia

Brave Heart is an amazing story about compassion and a will to create a difference for those who live under challenging conditions. The team of Pure Norwegian Seafood AS is a proud sponsor of Brave Heart, and we are grateful for having good customers, partners and a business who gives us the opportunity to help. The compassion that Brave Heart and Stephen represent is idealistic to us. We wish to contribute to building sustainable societies in Norway, but also in other places around the world.
