THE Omuthiya Town Council aims to raise funds for the construction of a community hostel to benefit learners without relatives in town and help protect vulnerable young girls.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The mayoral event is scheduled for Friday at Omuthiya in the Oshikoto Region.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The town’s mayor, Johannes Ndeutepo, said the funds will be used to construct a community hostel for learners that have no accommodation during school terms.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Many learners are forced to look for their own accommodation which often leads to girls falling pregnant due to some people taking advantage of the situation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to 2020 statistics provided by the education ministry, 277 young girls fell pregnant in the Oshikoto Region last year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ndeutepo said providing accommodation in the more secure environment of a hostel they will be able to address the issue and hopefully see a decline in these numbers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He called on Namibians to support council in realising its dream of becoming a developed town.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“The money will also be used to start projects that will benefit the San community in the town,” he said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila is expected to officiate at the fundraising event.<\/p>\n
