About us

Papa Ramon's HopeKids is a special program within the organization: Kapundat FIA Private Hostel, a Namibian NGO, providing school education for children in need from marginalized tribes in Northern Namibia.

We focus initially on girls (but will add boys for the 2023 school year), because they are usually not given an opportunity to attend school. This is because:
(a) child marriages (early engagement)
(b) bride-dowry: the parent's desire to obtain a high bride price (usually goats)
(c) child labor: the children's role as work horses (i.e., fetching water, collecting fire wood, etc.)
(d) sex trafficking
... interferes with any desire to receive school 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 an international and 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!
