Project Never Walk Alone (PNWA) has distributed more than 12,600 pairs of shoes to children in eight regions since its launch three and a half years ago.

According to PNWA , an impact survey shows clear improvements in school attendance, confidence, and academic performance.

“Most of these kids struggled to walk long distances to school barefoot. With proper shoes, that journey is easier, and school attendance has improved,” said Elina Namupolo, PNWA Communications Manager.

The survey according to project, also found that children felt more confident at home and in class.

 “Their dignity has been restored. Teachers and parents have seen the change. These children now feel equal to their peers,” said Namupolo.

PNWA plans to deliver another 5,000 pairs of shoes, with 2,500 going to the //Kharas Region and 2,500 to Oshana before winter.

To fund this phase, PNWA needs N$1.9 million. So far, the Roads Authority (RFA) and SPKA Group have each pledged N$100,000.

“We’re encouraged by the positive feedback. This is what we set out to achieve when we started the project,” said Namupolo.

The project publishes the names of all sponsors and the exact amounts donated. Sponsors are invited to attend handovers and receive detailed reports.

“This process is key. It shows stakeholders that their money is used as intended, and they can see the results themselves,” she added.

An independent auditing firm compiles PNWA’s annual financial statements at no cost.

Despite progress, PNWA’s records show over 70,000 children in rural areas still go to school barefoot.

“We are committed to helping them. A good pair of shoes gives children a better chance at a healthier, safer and more dignified life,” said Namupolo.
