Families Strengthening Families

Because every child deserves protection and opportunities

With your donation, you give children in Namibia protection, education and a warm meal – things your family can take for granted.

As parents, you know the desire to give your children everything they need: safety, education and security. For many children in Namibia, these very things cannot be taken for granted. With your support – whether as a Guardian Angel, at the soup kitchen or through targeted support at school – you help children grow stronger. Tangibly, effectively and with heart.

Guardian angel programme

Good, sustainable education costs money. With the help of our Guardian Angels, we support children and young people in Namibia throughout their school careers and beyond. Guardian Angels contribute in the form of a monthly or annual donation, based on the respective needs of pupils or students. This program is very successful: the first Guardian Angel children have already completed their bachelor's degrees—without steps for children, this would never have been possible.

Giving what really counts

Make a big difference with small amounts—and provide targeted help.

Whether it’s a square metre of soup kitchen, a schoolbook, a warm blanket or a seedling – with your donation, you purchase a specific product that directly benefits children in Namibia.

Choose from individual donations or packages, and give the gift of education, security and prospects. Should a need already be covered, we will use your support where it is currently needed most.

Thank you for helping!

Social leave

With just a few nights in our guesthouses, you can spend your days working alongside our staff and volunteers at the preschool, supporting afternoon classes or helping at the soup kitchen.

Experience first-hand the real-life practice of a social project that cares for the poorest children and young people in Namibia, and understand the daily challenges that are guaranteed to differ from your own at home. Your donation does make a difference – you can verify this yourself. In addition, you can book a guided tour of the place so that during your stay you do not miss the most interesting corners and the regional cuisine.
