Serving Orphaned and Vulnerable Children

The San community, one of the oldest indigenous groups in Southern Africa, was resettled in Drimiopsis Namibia in 1991, a move that led to the loss of their ancestral land-based way of life. The result was isolation from mainstream society, unemployment, hopelessness, despair, food insecurity, and lack of access to education, with many children orphaned and vulnerable due to HIV/AIDS.

The drought in Southern Africa in 2024 was the worst in 100 years, affecting 24 million people. The Omaheke region of Namibia, where CSN’s work is located, was declared to have the highest rate of child malnutrition and child death due to starvation in the country. CSNS is doing all it can to help the hungry children.

We invite you to explore our website to learn about our food programs, residential childcare facility (the Mother House), Sanctuary gardens, and plans to serve more of the community’s most vulnerable children. Your support is crucial in this mission. Together, we can transform lives!
