Namibian presidential focus on youth and child welfare

President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has emphasized the importance of investing in Namibia’s younger population through various social and developmental initiatives.

During the Day of the Namibian Child, the President called for a renewed national commitment to protecting children from violence, abuse, neglect, and exploitation.
