Wadadee cares Conception: Mission & Vision Wadadee Cares is a non-profit organisation supporting charitable institutions in Windhoek, Namibia, in the location of Katutura. Our projects are primarily focused on benefiting orphans and vulnerable children, to ensure a better future not only for the children but also for Namibia at large. Our goal is to finance the basic daily needs for these children in different local Namibian institutions, such as children homes, shelters, pre-primary schools, kindergartes, day care institutions and soupkitchens. This guarantees a healthy nutrition and medical care, which are basics for a regular daily life, as well as safety and security, housing and warmth and care. Additionally, Wadadee cares focuses on ensuring sustainable investment in the children and their environment to give them education, health and security for their future. Future-oriented support is particularly important in the field of education, as we at Wadadee believe that education is the greatest equalizer and would break any future cycle of poverty, unemployment and diseases. We are trying to comply with the principles of sustainable development aid in our work in Namibia by not keeping our (partner) projects at the expense of the people of Namibia or future generations. Our mission requires social development that is ecologically compatible, socially fair and economically efficient.

We believe in the value that sport serves to develop the social, mental, physical and intellectual dimensions of the individual; and by extension enable the individual not only to develop self but to contribute positively towards national and international development. Our vision is to inspire, empower and capacitate individuals, communities, government and private sector partners to develop 'sporting networks and pathways' that create sustainable integrated sport development and sport for change models. We provide (implement) solutions to sustainable, responsible and integrated sport development and sport for change models from the Cradle to the Podium - Early Childhood Development (ECD), School Physical Education and Sport, Education, Community Sport and Development, Youth Leadership, Coach and Teacher Development and Talent Identification. We also support government departments (international, national, provincial and local), NGO's, CSR initiatives, that believe in the value of sport, or the value in using sport as a vehicle for change. Any funded programme conceptualised or implemented by Sportstec at district, provincial or national level will serve as an official institutionalised programme of the Department of Basic Education. We have worked in all provinces within the country and have successfully implemented programmes for corporates and funders such as UNICEF and the MrPrice Foundation. Further beneficiaries of Sportstec Foundation Trust, are members of a rural community in the KwaZulu Natal Province called Geluksburg . In order to improve the living conditions for children and youth in this rural area the objective of our programme is to create Rural Community Sport Networks (RCSN). The focus of the RCSN zones is on the opportunity for the youth in rural communities to participate in sport, physical activity and personal development through life skill messaging, thereby giving them an alternative to social ills and risky behaviour and developing a sense of purpose for their future. The programme includes a holistic approach to development and is aligned to Government objectives for rural development, youth development, education, social development, as well as health and sport and recreation.

Oxfam is a global movement of people who share the belief that, in a world rich in resources, poverty isn't inevitable. It's an injustice which can, and must, be overcome. We're dedicated to building a just and safer world focusing on people's rights. We're passionate about ending poverty and helping to rebuild the lives affected by it. It's an enormous undertaking but we also have people on our side - talented and committed partners, volunteers, supporters and staff who share the same values. We aim to save lives by responding quickly with aid and protection during emergencies, empower people to work their own way out of poverty and campaign for lasting change. We have been saving and changing lives for seventy years now and know that tackling poverty is only possible when we are helping people to secure their fundamental human rights - the right to life and security, the right to a sustainable livelihood, the right to essential services, the right to be heard and the right to equity (in particular, the rights of women). We work at all levels - global and local, with international governments and global institutions, local communities and individuals - to make sure that these rights are protected and that the best solutions to people's suffering are implemented. Our values as an organisation are founded upon our experiences. We know that poverty can only be overcome once the fundamental human rights of impoverished others are secured and our three main values as an organisation - empowerment, accountability, inclusiveness - reflect this. Empowerment - our approach means that everyone involved with Oxfam, from our staff and supporters to people living in poverty, should feel they can make change happen. Accountability - our purpose driven, results-focused approach means we take responsibility for our actions and hold ourselves accountable; we believe that others should also be held accountable for their actions. Inclusiveness - we are open to everyone and embrace diversity; we believe everyone has a contribution to make, regardless of visible and invisible differences.
