Investing in youth to transform their communities
Half the population of Windhoek, Namibia’s capital, live in shantytowns (unplanned communities) surrounding the city. Shantytowns are known for violent crime, prostitution, and substance abuse. They are dangerous places to grow up. Shantytown children and youth are vulnerable and lack opportunity.
Our local partner in Namibia is investing in children and youth in Namibia through education and sports programs to transform communities.
Partnership Focus
Together, we invest in children and youth in Namibia through education and sports programs to transform communities.
