We operate without unnecessary bureaucracy using direct ways of communication resulting in quick and effective decisions. Our small team works voluntarily and unpaid.

Each board member completed a one-year voluntary service in Namibia, in cooperation with the Red Cross. We know all our project partners personally.

We were able to invest half a million of euros into useful and sustainable projects. Each donation reaches 1:1 on site. Administration costs are applied for separately.

Word of welcome by the Ambassador of Namibia

Dear Friends of Tangeni Shilongo Namibia,

As we are entering the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected, and continues to negatively affect the entire world, Namibia has equally not been spared.  The economic and human impact of the pandemic during the first year, 2020, has been massive. The plight of children and the youth especially, often goes unnoticed. UNICEF, for example, reported that data from 87 countries reveals that 1 in 9 known COVID-19 infections are among children and young people under the age of 20. In Namibia, this trend is also evident: 15% of the COVID-19 confirmed cases at the end of 2020 were in the 0-19 age group– this means 1 in 7 of the total confirmed cases were children. (…)

Ambassador Martin Andjaba

More about our commitment

Our association

The vision of this association is to provide every child and young person in Namibia, regardless of the financial situation of the family, with a realistic and fair opportunity for good education and thus break the vicious circle of intergenerational absolute poverty.

The association “Tangeni Shilongo Namibia e.V.” for the furtherance of children, youth, family aid and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Namibia is registered as a welfare organisation in Germany since 2015 and in Namibia since 2021.

We voluntarily participate in the German initiative “Transparent civil community”, making our constitution publicly available and following principles for anti-corruption.

Furthermore, we take part in the initiative “Charta of diversity” under the patronage of the former German chancellor Angela Merkel. We share the goal of creating a working environment free of prejudices. For our efforts to diversity, we have been awarded the membership certificate of the “Charta of diversity“ from the integration commissioner of the German Government.

Our colours

Yellow, blue, red, green, white

The golden-yellow sun is a symbol for life and vitality, for warmth and energy. The twelve sunrays represent the twelve ethnic groups in Namibia.

The blue colour represents the clear sky, the Atlantic Ocean, the valuable water resources and the hope for rain.

Green represents the fertility and vegetation of the country.

The red colour symbolises the people living in Namibia. It points to their heroic behaviour and the common will to reach a future with equal chances for everyone.

White represents the peaceful life together and the unity of the people.
