Help Lidar Community Foundation support vulnerable teenage mothers in Windhoek with emergency shelter, counselling, and life-skills training. Many arrive traumatized, rejected, and without basic support. Your donation provides safety, care, and a path to independence. With better systems and trained staff, Lidar can expand its impact. Every dollar helps a young mother find hope, stability, and the chance for a better future.
Each week, teenage mothers arrive at Lidar Community Foundation in Windhoek, struggling with rejection, depression, and lack of resources. Many have dropped out of school, face suicidal thoughts, and lack basic needs for their babies. Lidar offers shelter, counseling, life skills, and connects them to schools, clinics, and jobs. Their goal is to empower these women and create better futures, but limited funding prevents them from meeting the increasing demand for support.
1. Provide immediate safety and care Your gift will fund safe shelter, hygiene kits, counselling, and transport to clinics - the first steps toward healing and stability for a mother and her child. 2. Strengthen and expand Lidar Community Foundation's services With modest investments in simple digital record-keeping, staff training, and financial templates, Lidar Community Foundation can manage cases consistently, report to donors transparently, and expand services sustainably.
Over the next 12 months, Lidar Community Foundation aims to: Provide safe short-term emergency accommodation for at least 25 mothers and their babies. Deliver monthly trauma-informed counselling and life-skills sessions. Install a basic digital case-management and finance system. Train six staff and volunteers in record-keeping, reporting, and protection standards.
