INCREASING FOOD SECURITY

Donations will enabled the Namibia Project Charity to continue to provide supplementary food supplies for the eighty orphans and vulnerable children at the llKhuta!hoas Primary School hostel in 2024.

The Namibian Government’s feeding programme provides one bowl of porridge per day, per child and the charity has supplemented the nutrition for these young children, for the past sixteen years, by supplying tinned meat, fish and vegetables.

The charity has built a covered school garden and provided seeds and equipment to help the school to become self-sufficient and increase their food security.

Unfortunately, Namibia has suffered from a severe drought for a number of years. These conditions have forced the nomadic goat herders to leave their children at the llKhuta!hoas Primary School hostel as they are unable to feed the children and need to move away in search of pasture for their goats.

The pandemic affected the Charity’s ability to raise ‘face to face’ funds, over the past three years and we are particularly fearful that we will not be unable to purchase the supplementary food supplies for the children especially when the winter arrives in Namibia in 2024.
