Javaza is a girl with a dream. The 14-year-old from Namibia wants to become a lawyer. “I want to grow up, be somebody, and help other people in return,” Javaza shared.<\/p>\n

Mammadu<\/a>, a non-profit in her home country, is helping students like Javaza get the education they need to pursue their dreams. Mammadu aims to be a safe place for children from the community whose parents might be working, abusing alcohol, or are deceased due to HIV\/AIDS. Namibia’s HIV infection rate is 11.1%, the sixth highest in the world.<\/p>\n

“Mammadu was started to take care of the children who were playing in the streets,” Domenica Deiure, Mammadu’s manager, said. “If someone needs [it], we help,” she added. Mammadu supports children in Otjomuise, which is one of the poorest communities on the outskirts of Windhoek, Namibia’s capital.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The nonprofit helps pay for children’s school fees and supports them with extras for their education, such as after-school teachers, meals, and school uniforms.<\/p>\n

Javaza has been coming to Mammadu since she was six years old. “They help us have a nice childhood by taking us on tours around Namibia and making sure we are mentally and physically okay,” Javaza shared.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Mammadu pays for my school. Without Mammadu, I wouldn’t have the good education or the support I have now,” she said. “It would be hard for me to deal me with high school without Mammadu.”<\/p>\n
