Ending child food poverty
Welcome to Help4Nam!
Help4Nam is a community organisation and registered charity set up by a team of Namibian expats living in the UK. Our aim is to raise enough funds to purchase and provide emergency food provisions to help stop hunger in children (and their families) who live within underprivileged communities in Namibia.
We operate a food bank network within 3 specific communities: Windhoek, Rehoboth and Okahandja. Whereby families can access emergency food and toiletry supplies when they are in crisis, struggling to cope financially and unable to feed their children due to unemployment, ill health or other socio-economic constraints.
At Help4Nam we believe it is unacceptable for:
Children to go to bed and to school hungry,
Families on low income not being able to afford the basic food essentials,
Parents having to skip meals to feed their children.
As an independent, non-profit charity, we rely solely on donations from the public and grant funding in order to reach our goal of reducing hunger amongst children in Namibia.

Thrift Shop
To generate our own income, we would like to set up a charity thrift shop selling second-hand , pre-loved children’s clothes, toys, books, stationery and school uniforms. The shop will operate as a retail business with all the proceeds going directly towards funding the food bank.

What’s new….
We launch our ‘Sponsor a day at a children’s soup kitchen’ initiative.
Not only is it a unique way for local businesses to give back to the community, it helps us work together to meet the increasing need for food within the poorer communities this winter. A sponsorship fee of N$4,000 feeds approximately 300 children for a day and you will of course have the option to come along for the day, meet the children and see first-hand the difference your generosity makes!
