Our vision:
To offer support to OVC (Orphans and Vulnerable Children) and those families who are unable to care for them.
To uplift the living standards of OVC and their families, through development, education, medical assistance and a feeding program.

Nature of the Foundation:
Child Development Foundation is a non-governmental, non-political, and nondenominational and non-profit social development organisation working exclusively in the public interest. All foundation funds and surpluses shall be employed to further the foundation's objectives.
The Foundation was established to help feed, educate and care for Namibian children who are in need. The foundation has been operating officially now for over three years with the help of dedicated staff and people who volunteer on a regular basis.
Most of our funding comes from donors, non-governmental organizations and corporate institutions, such as Hertz Rent a Car, Old Mutual and Channel 7. Our main Donor “Stichting Pappa” of the Netherlands was formed solely to assist Child Development Foundation financially in Namibia.
Our primary funding includes:
Education:
CDF Mission School that opened in 2007
Government Schools (school fees, uniforms and stationary);
Vocational Training (we will start with this project in 2010)
Feeding Program:
Two daily meals are provided for the sixty students at the Mission School
Caretaking Program:
We will provide housing for children who have experienced human tragedy and are left alone without any support system until such time that they can be placed with relatives or approved guardians.
We will provide medical and counselling assistance when needed.

Founders of the Child Development Foundation:
It all started when the Shalom Centre and its children were abandoned by a previous organisation with no future to look forward to.
Henriette Le Grange and Pieter Lingenfelder felt it in their hearts to take over the control and assist these OVC’s; and Child Development Foundation was established in September 2006.
Child Development Foundation is an accredited organisation, and proud to be part of.

Building Project:
CDF has applied for a plot at the Municipality to enable us to build our own facilities.
