About us

Papa Ramon's HopeKids is a nonprofit organization (NGO) providing school education for pastoralists' children in Northern Namibia.

We focus primarily on girls, because they are usually not given an opportunity to attend school. This is because (a) child marriages (early engagement), (b) the parent's desire to obtain a high bride price (usually goats), and (c) their role as work horses (i.e., fetching water, collecting fire wood, etc.) interferes with any desire to receive education.

Children in need (i.e., orphans, abandoned, sick, disabled, poverty-stricken, etc.) are selected to be one of Papa Ramon's HopeKids and to grow up in Opuwo's Children's Home.

Papa Ramon's HopeKids:
- Live in a safe environment (away from harmful traditional ritual malpractices)
- Raised in a multi-cultural setting to promote peaceful relationships with neighbor tribes, despite traditional animosity
- Learn Christian values through lifestyle and daily exposure to the Gospel

Papa Ramon's HopeKids represent the next generation and we will help them to become future leaders. You can help and support us!
