In hardly any other country in the world is that income distribution as unequal as in Namibia (Gini coefficient of around 0,58). The quality state educational offers is insufficient. The reintroduction of school fees, the lack of equipment in schools and insufficient qualifications of teachers mean that many children in Namibia no fair chance of education to have. In addition to the threat of poverty, children are constantly exposed to dangers such as violence, prostitution and crime. Teenage pregnancies are common – a Teufelskreis the poverty.
