||Khuta!hoas Primary School in Southern Namibia is facing a dual crisis. Their bakkie, the vehicle they rely on for fetching food and supplies, has completely broken down. At the same time, their food stores are dangerously low as the region suffers its worst drought in a century.

For 85 children, school meals are often the only food they receive each day. Without the bakkie, staff must walk long distances in harsh heat just to secure basic ingredients. Without food, learning stops altogether.

We are launching an urgent appeal to raise £8,000 to:

• Repair the school’s bakkie so food and essentials can be collected safely and quickly

• Keep 1,065 meals a week flowing through the end of the school year

Every contribution protects both mobility and meals:

£5 = feeds one learner for a week

£20 = feeds four

£50 = keeps ten nourished and in school

£1,500 = revives the bakkie

Please give now. Every mile and every meal matters.
