CURRENT INITIATIVE:
Impoverished Student Sponsorships

We are seeking donations for the students of Ondobe Secondary School in the most impoverished region in Namibia. Sponsors who donate one of the three donation amounts described below will be sent a picture of the child(ren) they are sponsoring holding a thank you note with sponsor’s name after the completion of our fundraising campaign.
  • $640: Feed all 128 students housed in the hostels three meals per day for seven days. This sponsorship will allow the school to provide enough protein and vegetables to feed the children three balanced meals per day.
  • $350: Housing and School Supplies needed for seven (7) students for an entire school year. These students are not able to attend school unless they can be housed in the hostels on site, but they are unable to pay the housing fees. $350 per student needed. See pictures of four students needing housing sponsorship below.
  • $100: Uniforms and school supplies for one student for an entire school year. Our goal is to sponsor 100 students.
