About Seawork Cares
Seawork Cares is a non-profit initiative established to support & assist Namibia’s most vulnerable individuals. At Seawork, we care about our future and believe that together we can create a better tomorrow, today. We believe education is the great equalizer - Providing those less fortunate, with the opportunity to pursue their dreams!
Seawork Cares was established to provide those in need with the resources to build a brighter future. Due to a lack of food security thousands of children are forced to fend for themselves and drop out of primary school every year.
Forming part of Seawork Cares, our Adopt-a-School initiative is aimed at providing a healthy meal for underprivileged primary school children in remote, rural areas of Namibia, providing relief and allowing them to focus on their education.
We believe in our mission and know that “A good meal can equal GREAT results!” So, get in touch today, and help us give our Namibian children the chance for a better future!
Why Seawork Cares
Many poor, uneducated families struggle to find employment and suffer from malnourishment.
Everyone should have the chance to live a life of independence, with the ability to take care of themselves. We want to uplift people in the poorest communities and give them the opportunity to become educated - to help them secure job opportunities and thrive in later life.
We have the vision to create an environment which fosters a brighter future for Namibia - creating healthy, well educated, self-sustainable independent communities.
Challenges we face
Limited access to basic needs make it extremely difficult for children in rural areas to focus on their education
Challenge
- Children drop out of primary school to provide for themselves – leading to lower attendance rates and illiteracy.
- Low primary school attendance rates impact children’s educational development.
- Lack of basic nutrition stunt growth for healthy physical and mental development.
- Illiteracy results in long term dependence on support from government and private enterprise to provide relief.
Solution
- We can combat poverty through the promotion of education in turn eradicating malnourishment.
- By providing healthy meals to underprivileged children along with creating a safe and supportive learning environment for children to feel safe, loved and cared for we can make a lasting positive impact on their lives
- Through improved education we can improve literacy and foster a generation of well-educated curious and capable individuals which will later become assets to society. In turn taking on the responsibility of helping fellow Namibians to transcend their social and economic situations.
