Single Quarter in Katutura
In the poorest district of Windhoek, Katutura, we have founded a new social facility for children that creates prospects through educational programs and care as well as meals.
We are delighted that our new facility, the “Single Quarter” preschool in Katutura, can begin its work in April. On the grounds of the “Jakob Marengo” facility in Katutura, we rented and renovated a building. There is a classroom here for almost 15 children, an adjoining room and toilets. The cooking area will be newly created outside the building; a playground is in preparation. We need further support for this – at the end of the post, there is an option to donate to Single Quarter.
The building was completed during the Namibian summer. Here we see a few impressions of the work.
The large property on which the building stands is enclosed by a wall and the entrance is guarded. This ensures that no unauthorized people can enter the premises and that the children have a protected space to play and learn.
The newly hired teacher Rautia Shikongo and the cook Secilie Ekandjo have already been looking forward to welcoming the children in April for several weeks. In the photo above, we see them together with Martin Schölling, a member of our National Coordinator Team.
We welcome support for the new playground at the steps facility “Single Quarter” in Katutura. A total of 2.100 € is needed for this.
