It has become increasingly common in Namibia for children to head
their own households and take care of other relatives, due to the death
or illness of their parents or guardians. Most often, this situation is
caused by HIV and Aids, which adds grief, mourning and sometimes stigma
to the burden that child-headed households must bear. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] This book serves as a guide with information that all responsible caregivers and heads-of-households should know. It shows how any household-from a poor shack to a large homestead--can become a loving home when it is run properly, with care and understanding. The authors are twin sisters who got the idea to help child-headed households ten years ago. They have been spending much of their time with orphans and other children-in-need ever since. Recently, they started running workshops for teenagers on household and family care, which they call the Torch Bearers' Project. With the help of Yelula/U-Khai, they teamed up with Lucy Steinitz, an experienced writer and long-time community activist for children in Namibia, to write this manual. By Aini N. Hoaeb and Aune S. liyambula with Lucy Y. Steinitz, Ph.D. Yelula/U-Khai (Alliance 2015), Oshakati, Namibia, 2008 |
