Their community based centre is located in Katutura and caters for many orphaned and vulnerable children. Their focus is on education, training, youth programmes and job creation. In a community where drug and alcohol abuse is high, where unemployment is high, and where many young people suffer because of HIV/Aids and hunger; Beautiful Kidz has made it their mission to care for nearly 90 toddlers, 360 young people and 20 adults every week. The organisation also offers Computer Training, a Homework Class as well as Teacher and Child Care Training.
