Support for Children Life Change Orphanage
Food products and items worth N$10 000 were handed over to the Children Life Change Centre and Kindergarten last week by the Capricorn Foundation through the Grotius Firm.The Grotius Firm of the University of Namibia (UNAM) Law School consists of 4th-year law students who are tasked with carrying out a community impact project for assessment purposes.
“The Grotius Firm identified the Children Life Change Centre and Kindergarten after consulting various orphanages in Windhoek,” Iyaloo Hamulungu, Legal Aid and Professional Ethics Lecturer, said. “We learned that the orphanage has no monthly income, and since the Covid-19 lockdown, they could not attend to their field in the north, which was the orphanage’s main source of living. We then reached out to stakeholders to donate towards the orphanage for the betterment of their circumstances.”
From the Capricorn Foundation’s side, executive officer Marlize Horn said they hope this sponsorship will make a positive impact on the Children Life Change Orphanage and Kindergarten to carry out its mission, namely to create a safe space for children, to provide health, recreation, and basic education for the over 60 children that it cares for. “Further, we commend the Grotius Firm on their efforts to create an impact in our local communities and hope that the spirit of empathy will always be a part of their journey.”
