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 that are a given for your family.

As parents, you know the wish to give your children everything: safety, education, security. For many children in Namibia, these things are not a given. With your support – whether as a guardian angel, at the soup kitchen or through targeted help at school – you help make children strong. Very concretely, 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 during their school career and beyond. Guardian Angels make their contribution in the form of a monthly or annual donation based on the respective needs of the pupils or students. This programme is very successful: the first Schutzengel children have already completed their bachelor's degree - without steps for children, this would never have been possible.

Giving what really counts

Making a big difference with small amounts - and providing targeted help.

Whether a square metre of soup kitchen, a schoolbook, a warm blanket or a sapling – with your donation you buy a specific product that directly benefits children in Namibia.

Choose from individual donations or packages, give the gift of education, safety and prospects. If a need has already been met, we will use your help where it is needed most right now.

Thank you for helping!

Social leave

With just a few nights in our guest houses, you can work during the day alongside our staff and volunteers in the preschool, support the afternoon lessons or help in 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.
