Faith Foundation’s Partnership with the Ministry of Health and Social Services
Faith Foundation, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Social Services, conducts extensive community outreach programs focused on identifying and supporting out-of-school youth struggling with substance abuse and reintegration challenges. Our initiatives target those who have lost hope due to addiction, repeated offenses, and social marginalization. By providing counseling, rehabilitation services, and alternative pathways to education and employment, we aim to restore dignity, purpose, and opportunity to at-risk youth.
We play a vital role in assisting the Ministry in managing final-year students from the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) under the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Through structured internship programs and hands-on experience within our community engagement projects, these students contribute to social development efforts while gaining practical expertise in fields such as social work, psychology, and public health. This initiative not only strengthens Namibia’s future workforce but also ensures that young professionals are equipped with real-world knowledge to drive social change.
Our collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Social Services is a testament to our shared commitment to building a healthier, safer, and more inclusive society for Namibia’s youth.

Faith Foundation has a formal collaboration agreement with the Namibian Police Force to advocate against crime, particularly targeting awaiting trial offenders. Through educational programs, workshops, and mentorship initiatives, we emphasize the message that “Crime Does Not Pay,” steering at-risk youth towards positive alternatives.

We facilitate collaboration between government entities, businesses, non-profit organizations, and community leaders to create a unified approach to crime prevention. By fostering strong networks, we ensure that rehabilitated individuals have access to mentorship, employment opportunities, and continued support after reintegration.
