HAPPYDU VILLAGE: Soweto - Katutura Windhoek
On the 1st of October 2017, the mayor of Windhoek inaugurated the first HAPPYDU VILLAGE in Soweto - Katutura!
"Happydu Village Soweto" is located within the grounds of the AFM Revival Church near Soweto - Katutua, Windhoek and It has become a landmark and a meeting place for children and adolescents living in the neighborhood. The project is active 7 days a week to give a concrete response to the lack of accommodation and recreational facilities especially during the weekend, when alcohol and drug abuse threatens the lives of many adolescents.
Hence, we created a big space for the children to participate in sports activities and practices coordinated by some local coaches.
The project hosts 70 children who are signed up for kindergarten and after-school activities. As well as around 100 children and or teenagers for the sports and recreational activities. Five local people are employed in the project: 2 teachers for the kindergarten services, 2 teachers for afterschool activities, 1 teacher for music and dance lessons.
Happydu Village offers the following services:
KINDERGARTEN
