HISA IN OMUSATI REGION

Hope Initiatives staff recently handed over clothing donations to expecting mothers at the feeding centre in Tsandi. The centre supports an average of 20–25 young mothers by providing nutritious meals three times a week, helping to promote healthy full-term pregnancies as they await delivery at a nearby state hospital.

HISA continues to play a vital role in community development by supporting vulnerable mothers and addressing the needs of those who require assistance the most. ❤️💙🤍

HISA Namibia’s Informal Settlement Circular Economy initiative, known as Project NISCE and funded by FLC Namibia, has been implemented alongside several other community-driven projects. Through this initiative, community members benefit from free, hands-on skills training that equips them with practical knowledge in waste reuse, recycling, and upcycling. Participants are trained to transform discarded materials—such as pallets—into functional and valuable furniture, promoting both environmental sustainability and economic empowerment.

Initial Project Visit by Finnish Delegation

As part of the initial project engagement and partnership strengthening, a high-level delegation from the Embassy of Finland in Namibia, together with representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland and the Programme Director for Circular Economy from the Finnish Innovation Fund SITRA, conducted a visit to HISA.

The visit marked an important milestone as HISA begins the implementation of its circular economy initiative aimed at promoting sustainable livelihoods, environmental stewardship, and community-driven solutions within peri-urban informal settlements.

During the visit, the delegation engaged with the HISA team to gain insights into the project’s objectives, implementation approach, and anticipated impact. Discussions focused on how circular economy principles—such as reuse, recycling, and resource efficiency—can support community resilience, youth employment, and environmentally sustainable practices at the grassroots level.

The visit also provided an opportunity to showcase HISA’s ongoing environmental and community-based initiatives, including plastic recycling activities, community-driven sustainability practices, and capacity-building efforts that empower local residents to participate in circular economic opportunities! ♻️ ❤️💙🤍💚
