SIDE BY SIDE SCHOOL
Side by Side is a registered non-profit organization under Section 21 (Reg. Number: 21/2013/0487) founded by Sandra Hollweg and Anita Nangombe. They started and funded this project mainly through German donors. Sandra, the former director of Side by Side, used her profession and knowledge to create a strong supporting system within the harsh environment of the township communities. Due to the lack of support for Early Intervention and Pre – primary education for children disabilities, her investment over the last years has made a tremendous impact in this communities. Her passion for children with disabilities and their development is contagious and inspirational.
In December 2017 Sandra Hollweg returned to Germany and Huipie van Wyk took up the position. As a mother of a child with a Severe Disability she understands the importance of Support in the community but mostly in the medical field. She is using her drive, knowledge, experience and contacts she has gained over the last 7 years to improve the services that Side by Side offers and to maintain the pace at which the Centre needs to grow to meet the demands of the community and the children of Namibia with disabilities.
EES is now looking out through his contacts to find more possible ways to support the Side by Side early intervention centre in the future. So if you know of any organsation or person interested to support with anything from financial support, to material or even just mentel motivation. please do contact us or Side by Side directly
