The HIV prevalence rate in Namibia is around 22% and a recent Amnesty International Report (2007) identified a high level of violence against women and children and a high level of child rapes within Namibia. We are a charity, working in partnership with Omaleshe Projects Namibia, using the teaching of dance, drama and drumming, and soccer as a means of raising HIV awareness and protection of harm from abuse amongst children.
Omaleshe is an oshiwambo word meaning young and vibrant and our vision is to bring joy, energy and confidence to orphans and vulnerable children and to help them to realize their potential. We are reliant on donations and if you would like to help us to continue our work you can donate online through www.justgiving.com
Omaleshe projects appreciate the support of Aegon in providing seed funding. This will help fund a trip to the UK during 2010 for Sisi to promote her work and raise further funds to continue and expand it.
