The accommodation or tour company working with the orphanage will deliver the supplies in a coordinated and respectful way so that the children can benefit from them. Your generosity is not diminished because you do not interact with the children.

Project Description
The Home of Good Hope is a soup kitchen for poor vulnerable children, street children and orphans in the township of Katutura in Windhoek. Established in 2007 by Namibian Monica Imanga and Canadian nurse Eileen Green, the Home of Good Hope has become a lifeline for the children of the Goreangab area of the township. Every week more than 380 children come to Home of Good Hope where they are provided a daily meal Monday – Friday. For many of these children this meal is their only source of nutrition and makes it crucial for survival. Malnutrition and vitamin deficiencies are a fact. In addition to a hearty meal, the Home of Good Hope also serves as a community hub, providing essential items to those in need. These items can be clothing, basic health and hygiene items, and educational support.
