One major goal is to improve the nutritional situation locally. Last year 36,000 children died in Namibia as a result of malnutrition! Other objectives are to improve educational opportunities and to create jobs locally. Improving the quality of life helps to prevent migration &#8211; from the countryside to the city and from Africa to Europe. The administration in Namibia is relatively low in corruption. In our projects, we consistently ensure that donations arrive directly on site and are only used for our intended purposes.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=&#8221;130772&#8243; media_lightbox=&#8221;yes&#8221;
