Ondangwa Child - K. Lemon
|
Located in northern Namibia, Ondangwa and the surrounding region have seen decades of strife and civil conflict, tapping the population in an endless cycle of poverty and disease. This area has also been devastated with the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Lacking adequate social services, there are growing numbers of orphaned and abandoned children with no homes or hope for the future.
Ondangwa Village - A home in the making

The first "All Canadian" funded SOS Village and Kindergarten is being built in the impoverished north of Namibia. When completed, 120 orphaned and abandoned children will be cared for in loving family environments, and another 75 children given their first vital step in formal education.
