While medical experts and government authorities do their best to prevent spread of the Covid-19 virus, measures are retrogressive to many marginalized in urban and rural areas and fall victim to increased poverty, hunger and an over-all inability to cope with the Covid-19 global pandemic.

In order to combat the effects of the virus on humanity and minimize further economic decline, KDI seeks urgent funding for food and logistics capacity for the movement and distribution of food items to poverty-stricken communities as a result of the Pandemic.

Urgent funding is further required for the establishment of a privately run hospital located in Katima Mulilo (Namibia) in support to the overstretched government hospital to deal with Covid-19.

Local citizens report that Covid-19 cases are increasing at an alarming rate in the region and additional isolation spaces, matrasses, oxygen, masks, sanitizers are urgently needed. The hospital will further treat patients with HIV-Aids and such diseases as occur in the central southern Africa region.

The new hospital will serve the northwester part of Namibia [the Zambezi region formerly known as the Caprivi strip], the southern part of Zambia, northwest Botswana, parts of Zimbabwe and rural parts of southern Angola.

While the population of the town is about 100,000, calculating the region’s population may well be over 3x the local populace.
