In a statement issued earlier this morning, Project Hope Namibia noted that while they can no longer provide direct services under this initiative, they remain deeply committed to the well-being of the communities they have served.
“We understand that many of you may still require support. If you need access to gender-based violence (GBV) support or sexual and reproductive health care, we encourage you to visit your nearest clinic/health centre operated by the health ministry, where these services remain available,” the statement read.
For orphans and vulnerable children (ages 0-17) who require assistance, Project Hope Namibia is urging them to visit the nearest office of the gender ministry.
The project noted that although they are closing their doors, they remain committed to exploring new funding opportunities to advance their mission of transforming lives and uplifting vulnerable communities in Namibia and beyond.
