Child Sponsor Namibia


Child Sponsor Namibia


Despite its relatively high income, Namibia has a poverty rate of 26.9%, affecting predominately the northern regions of Kavango, Oshikoto, Zambezi, Kunene and Ohangwena. Frequent droughts and floods affect the country especially in the arid, rural areas of the country leaving 20% of the Namibian population lacking access to food with malnutrition being responsible for the death of at least 6,000 children in Namibia every year.


Child sponsor programs in Namibia concentrate on providing care for orphaned and abandoned children, helping with school fees, uniforms and equipment to promote educational participation and improved access to healthcare. Developing AIDS awareness is also seen as essential as, at 13%, the HIV prevalence rate is one of the highest in the entire world and the 25-44 age group accounts for the highest number of HIV infections affecting produtivity and life opportunities for future generations. You can help when your sponsor a child in Namibia.

Volunteer Work Uganda


In a shameless bit of self-promotion, read this novel by the African Volunteer Network team about volunteering in Uganda. "Well worth the read especially for those working with non-profits abroad. In fact, it should be required reading."

Sponsoring a San Bushman child can make a real difference in their lives and provide them with access to education and a better, brighter future given that, at present only 1 in 5 of them attend primary school and less than 1% finish secondary school. When you sponsor a child in Namibia with Naankuse you will receive a personalised certificate with a photo of your sponsored child, at least one update through the year on your sponsored child, and regular updates from the project throughout the year.
