In the face of increasing climate threats and a lack of food, Namibia has taken a decisive step to protect its most vulnerable communities.
The UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation and the government partnered to take urgent action to build resilience in the hardest-hit regions.
Ohangwena Regional Governor Sebastian Ndeitunga has encouraged the parents of children from vulnerable communities, especially the San community, to ensure that their children remain in school while the government is trying by all means to provide them with basic necessities.
The Hoveka Traditional Authority's leader, Turimuro Hoveka, has urged farmers in the Omaheke Region to share surplus of their crops with vulnerable residents.
Speaking at his homestead at Ombujonganga Village, Ombara Hoveka said he expects a better harvest of more than ten tonnes of cowpeas.
The Deep Sea Company has donated boxes of dried fish, cooking oil, and 152 bags of maize meal that will be distributed to 18 local soup kitchens that feed vulnerable children.
