Three months on the street with two children

Rehoboth mother to finally get shelter

For three months, Katrina Afrikaner (44) lived on the streets of Rehoboth’s Block H with her two children, aged five and two, with no food to eat and blankets to keep them warm during the cold weather.

Every morning she wandered around the community with hopes of finding something for her children to eat. This has not been easy without shelter and employment.

She came to Rehoboth three months ago from a farm at Gamsberg where she worked for three years before losing her job. When she arrived from the farm, she lived with an aunt, until she moved out due to misunderstandings.
