Baby Geingob, siblings need help
An unemployed couple from Popa village in the Kavango East Region - who named one of their six-month-old triplets after President Hage Geingob - is calling upon Good Samaritans to assist them with basic necessities or a job.
Faustinus Nakare (36) and Eugenie Tjangano (26), who are now parents to five children altogether, said they are currently surviving on their grandparents’ monthly pension grant.
They are struggling to provide for their triplets Gotfried Geingob, Aron and Hendrina and their other two children, saying every cent they get is for them.
“Buying food for the house has become a challenge for us because all we think of when we get something is to make sure we buy milk for our babies,” Nakare said.
Tjangano gave birth to the triplets on 5 January this year.
The couple said they recently received much-needed assistance from Mukwe constituency councillor Damian Maghambayi, but those supplies will only last them this month.
“We appreciate what our constituency councillor has done for us. It meant a lot; however, we are calling on Good Samaritans to help us as we are in dire need of assistance,” they said.
Their needs
The family indicated that they need formula, nappies, clothes and blankets for the babies. And instead of relying on handouts, the parents said they would appreciate it if they can be employed to sustain their family’s livelihood.
Nakare is in possession of a grade 12 certificate and has a code 10 driver’s license, while Tjangano is currently registered at a nursing school in Divundu. She pleaded for funding for the duration of her studies.
