Life Changing Stories

Verarapi

Success Story!!!!!!!!!
This is Verarapi Ngombe, a Himba boy who lives in Opuwo Namibia, who has been sponsored by a friend of NCCV since 2005. During that time he has been away from his family but supported through his education due to donations.
He has recently completed his education and has secured a post of Trainee Teacher with the Ministry of Education in Kunene Region. He will complete his training in 3 years but in the meantime he is earning a small salary and can now be self sufficient.

This success story and happy ending was brought about for less than £10 per month.
