About Us
Transforming lives through compassion, education, and comprehensive support
In Collaboration with the Government of the Republic of Namibia
NDESHIHAFELA AGAPE FOUNDATION operates under the Ministry of Health and Social Services of the Republic of Namibia. Our organization is monitored and supported by the government, ensuring transparency, accountability, and effective service delivery.
We are governed by 7 dedicated board members and receive valuable assistance from social workers from the Ministry of Health, who help us reach and support children in need across Namibia. This collaboration strengthens our impact and ensures that our programs align with national priorities for child welfare and development.
NDESHIHAFELA AGAPE FOUNDATION is a registered welfare organization dedicated to transforming the lives of orphans and vulnerable children in Namibia. Founded with a vision of hope and compassion, we provide comprehensive support that addresses the physical, emotional, educational, and social needs of every child in our care.
Our name "Ndeshihafela" reflects our commitment to being a place of refuge and support, while "Agape" represents unconditional love—the foundation of everything we do. We believe that every child, regardless of their circumstances, deserves the opportunity to thrive, learn, and realize their full potential.
Through our holistic programs, we work tirelessly to break the cycle of poverty and create lasting positive change in the lives of the children we serve, their families, and our communities.
