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 a quarter million of euros into useful and sustainable projects. Each donation reaches 1:1 on site. Administration costs are applied for separately.
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 work, and thus also with the access to a healthcare system that does not distinguish between rich and poor.
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.
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 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.
Our partners
Our new honorary member:
Eric Sell alias EES
EES is a German Namibian artist and music producer. His music style is a mixture of the music genres Kwaito, African House, Afro Pop and Afro Reggae, which he calls “NAM Flava Music” (Namibian influenced music). The influence of Afrikaans, English and German can be clearly heard in his lyrics.
EES has been a musician and producer since 2001. He finished his apprenticeship as a sound engineer in South Africa in 2003. In 2004 EES moved to Germany to push his career and to make Namibia and modern Namibian music better known in German-speaking countries. His songs are particularly popular in Namibia’s youth due to its typically German-Namibian language.
EES does not only make music, but also has its own fashion label, his own energy drink “WUMA” and his own spice blend “Nam Flava Spice“. All of his products are available at
