Charity name: Help4Nam

Charity registration number: 1192740

Objectives and Activities

SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document		 Para 1.17 The charity achieves its aims and
objectives, in particular but not
exclusively by: The relief of financial
hardship among people living or working
in Namibia, by providing such persons
with goods/services which they could not
otherwise afford through lack of means.
Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.		 Para 1.17 and
1.19		 We started the charity during the
pandemic, so it has been a challenging
first year. However, through generous
financial donations from the public we
were able to successfully provide needy
families in Namibia with food parcels
over the last 12 months. Donations were
used to purchase food and toiletries
which was distributed to underprivileged
homes in the 3 locations where the
charity focuses its work, namely
Khomasdal, Windhoek and Okahandja.
As well as individuals referred to us by
social workers, the beneficiaries also
included a primary school, a nursery and
an orphanage.
We of course could not function without
the support of our dedicated team of
volunteers in Namibia. They arrange
quotations for food supplies from
supermarkets, delivery and packing of
the parcels as well as distributing to the
identified beneficiaries. Our volunteers
are unemployed and have no means of
transportation therefore they were paid
for their travel and other expenses
related to their work for the charity.
We teamed up with Kings Daughters
Organisation (KDO) in Windhoek, they
are the only NGO in Namibia representing
rehabilitation of sex workers. They
specialise in HIV/AIDS Prevention
Projects among Key Populations (sex
workers and their vulnerable children) as
well as addressing their psycho-social
needs, among others. KDO applied for
funding from the German Embassy of
Namibia under their micro-project fund
and were successful. They worked jointly
with Help4Nam over a 4 month period to
supply beneficiaries with food parcels – a
total of 200 parcels were distributed.
Help4Nam were extremely fortunate to
receive funding of £5075 at the end of our
financial year (September 2021), from
Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) via their
Ambassadors for Good programme.
These funds will be used to purchase
food supplies for underprivileged families
in Namibia for a 6 month period starting
Jan’22.

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 During the past year we distributed 317
food parcels in Namibia which fed over
2000 individuals. The approximate value
of food issued was just over £2400.
Our beneficiaries are extremely grateful
for the food parcels which provide much
needed sustenance in times when they
have nowhere else to turn. The current
unemployment rate in Namibia is a
staggering 42% and most of our
beneficiaries are unemployed. We aim to
facilitate employment by identifying the
needs of beneficiaries and connecting
them with useful services and partners in
our network in Namibia. As well as
general hygiene products such as body
soap, toothpaste and toilet paper, the
parcels we provide consist of non-
perishable, nutritionally balanced food-
essential for those beneficiaries on
medication for treatment such as
AntiRetroviral Treatment (ART) for
HIV/AIDS and other medical conditions
such as Cancer and Diabetes.
