Mother house upgrade
CSN in cooperation with Namibian Child Welfare anticipates 18 orphans (nine boys, nine girls) will be moved permanently into the Mother House as soon as electricity is available to the site, two house mothers are trained, and the house is fully equipped. We are almost there!!! The kitchen is now completed - floor tiles were installed, ceilings painted, countertops and appliances are in place. A Namibian donor provided the new clothes washing machine now installed in the kitchen. All the furniture needed to equip the house (e.g., bunkbeds, bedroom cupboards, dining tables, chairs, etc.) has been ordered.
CSN is working with a contractor from Gobabis to install solar panels to complete the electrical needs for the Mother House and to power the pump used for the water tanks. Viktoria and Katrina, the two soup kitchen volunteers who have been hired to care for the children, have recently completed their house mother training at an orphanage in Omaruru. They returned inspired and committed and eagerly await the opportunity to care for the children! CSNS provided financial support for these projects.
