Most households are headed by women and children, and many of them can no longer cope. They do not have enough food or decent housing, and the children cannot go to school. We provide opportunities and support for people to make better lives for themselves. Namibia is one of the poorest African countries. It has been politically stable since it obtained independence from South Africa in 1990, but
most of its 2 million people live on less than $2 US a day. Windhoek, the capital, has overflowed with urban migration into squatter camps to the north of the city, in Okahandja Park, Kilimandjaro, Babilon and Okuruyangava. These communities are among the poorest in the country. This is where HISA is based. Our work helps the young, particularly Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVCs). We provide:
- Health and Nutrition
- Child Care
- Education
- Community Work
All our initiatives share one aim: giving people opportunities. Hope, Change, Self-reliance
