This traps generations in a cycle of marginalisation, says Maria Garises, an Omaheke San community member.

San communities say poverty, discrimination, teenage pregnancy, and a lack of access to quality education continue to rob many children of their right to education.
This traps generations in a cycle of marginalisation, says Maria Garises, an Omaheke San community member.
These concerns were raised during the launch of the San Children Embrace Education Project on Tuesday. The project aims to keep members of the San community in school.
Hosted by the Women’s Leadership Centre (WLC), the project brought together participants from Omega 1, Mu’ciku, Likwaterera, and Ndama in the Kavango East region, Tsintsabis and Farm Six in the Oshikoto region, Drimiopsis in the Omaheke region, and Chaka in the Zambezi region.
