Funded by the European Union, the RightStart programme is implemented by UNICEF and WFP in partnership with the Government of Namibia and Lifeline/Childline Namibia to support parents and caregivers in giving children the best possible start in life. #ForEveryChild
WFP Namibia retweeted
Hearing directly from parents and caregivers also reinforced a message shared by the @EUinNamibia Amb. @a_b_Martins: that investing in families and communities helps give children the strong start in life they need to learn, grow and reach their full potential.

"What encouraged me most today is hearing fathers speak about spending more time with their children. A father's role goes far beyond providing. When fathers support their children, they help build the strong foundations every child needs to thrive" @SamOcranKweku
WFP Namibia retweeted
When parents are supported, children thrive.
Because every child deserves not only a good start, but the right start. 💙
WFP Namibia retweeted
Parents spoke openly about what they have learned through the sessions, from spending more quality time with their children to using positive parenting approaches that strengthen trust, learning and development.

🔴 When humanitarian workers are attacked or obstructed, lifesaving assistance is put at risk.
Aid workers must be protected so they can safely reach people affected by conflict, disaster and hunger with the support they need.

WFP is ramping up preparedness and response as #ElNiño threatens to worsen hunger.
A new analysis shows where impacts may hit hardest.
At a time of shrinking humanitarian funding, acting early can help protect lives, livelihoods and reduce the cost of responding later. ⤵️

👨🌾🌾 When schools source food locally, #SchoolMeals become a direct & predictable source of income for the farmers who grow it.
🇳🇦 In #Namibia, every child reached by the Home-Grown #SchoolMeals pilot generates an estimated US$13 in annual revenue for local smallholder farmers.

Ending hunger is more than a dream.
It is a shared responsibility—across countries, communities, and generations.
WFP exists to fulfil this mission, fighting hunger on every front until everyone, everywhere has the food they need to live with dignity.
WFP Namibia retweeted
Across Africa, food brings us together, across cultures and borders. 🌍💫💙
@WFP works with communities so families have food today and the chance to shape tomorrow.

The World Food Programme says it assisted 138,013 people in Namibia during April 2026 as climate-related shocks, flooding and food insecurity continued to place pressure on vulnerable households across the country.
According to the WFP Namibia Country Brief for April 2026, 53% of the beneficiaries were female, while 11,800 schoolchildren benefited from the Home-Grown School Feeding Programme and 126,213 children under the age of five received support through Early Childhood Development centres.
The agency said food security conditions remain under strain despite improvements recorded following government drought relief interventions and favourable rainfall conditions.
“The impact of multiple shocks continues to strain vulnerable households, with food security needs remaining high even after the national drought response programme ended,” WFP said.
