Project in Namibia

  • Homeless International

    Over half of Africa's population now lives in urban areas. This project helps urban slum dwellers in Kenya, Zimbabwe and Namibia to address overcrowding, forced eviction, inadequate shelter, water and sanitation facilities. The project helps set up networks of slum dwellers who are then able to access to affordable loans which they can use to purchase land and build better housing. This process builds the confidence of members of the group, so they are better placed to lobby for essential services such as water and sanitation from local authorities. This project operates in three countries, with a spend of £1,000,000 in each location.

    Amount Awarded: £1000000

  • International Community of Women Living with HIV/AIDS

    Women living with HIV in Africa are one of the most underprivileged groups, often struggling to get medical care and rarely aware of their rights to treatment and support. The project trains women so they can support other positive women in negotiating for their rights – whether it be to land or property, or access to health services. After training, these women will provide essential support to thousands of other women living with HIV. This project operates in seven countries, with a spend of £71,428 in each location.
