About Us
Havana Soup Kitchen was founded in 2010 in one of the impoverished communities called Havana in Windhoek, Namibia by Frieda Kemuiko Geises. Havana Soup Kitchen has a board of 7 members who are serving on voluntary basis to help HSK and its projects achieving their objectives.
At the moment, we have 45 children aged three (3) to six (6) enrolled with us for pre-primary education. Apart from giving pre-primary level free education to our our children, we offer breakfast and lunch every day. The children also get clothing from time to time, when we receive clothing items as donations.
The second project of Havana Soup Kitchen serves elderly people aged sixty (60) and above. We provide food parcels on a monthly basis to over 100 elderly people in the Havana community.
The third and latest addition to our portfolio of projects is Project Homework. The aim for this project is assist identified learners from grade 6 and 7, who are struggling with school due to lack of support.
