The reality

The reality in Rehoboth

Many children in Rehoboth grow up in broken families. They are busy surviving instead of living. Every day it is uncertain whether they will have food at home.

Parents are often absent due to death, alcohol addiction, or simply do not have the means to provide their children with what they need.

What I love most about Lighthouse is that I can help shape the lives of vulnerable children. It's fulfilling to plant a seed of hope. Your contributions really make a difference in the lives of children and youth here in Namibia.
