The administrative centre is located on the banks of the mighty Cuvango River at the border with Namibia. The region has recently been hit by climate change effects, with repeated flooding in the river plain and drought in the upland areas.

At six years, Esther is brilliant and loves pens and pencils. She loves drawing pictures on anything that pleases her – books, old newspapers and even on her clothes.
Although Esther is yet to decide what she wants to become in future, she simply loves going to school because she feels happy there and has made many friends. Her best subject is French.

Where hunger stalks the homes of vulnerable households in drought prone Lupane, HIV/AIDS is also on the prowl to eliminate hope among afflicted families.
The only thing that Thabani looked forward to was going to school, where he would get a hot cooked meal and friends.
World Vision pays his school fees and provides him with essential schoolbooks and uniforms.
