Welcome to a story of hope. That needs your help…

Nestled between beautiful trees and lush vegetation, you will find Nakayale Academy for Orphans and Marginalised Children in Etunda in the western Omusati Region of Namibia. 

The school is the only facility in the region that can accommodate these marginalised and neglected children free of charge, in an exclusive boarding house, providing them with first-class education, healthcare, clean water and nutritional food, clothing, medical care, sports training, art, music and exposure to the world beyond their village. Before they came to Nakayale, these children – many of them orphaned – lived in poverty, in remote villages, unfathomable distances from the nearest school.

Over the last four years, a destiny of poverty, deprivation and untapped potential has been  transformed to a promise of hope, options and possibility.   Sadly, the severe drought followed by sudden floods rendered the agricultural project initiated to sustain the school financially futile in December of 2019, abruptly leaving the school deprived of income and on the brink of closing down and shutting the door to a future for these children.
