As temperatures continue to drop in Windhoek, many people without homes are spending their nights in riverbeds, on sidewalks and in cardboard boxes to protect themselves from the cold.

One local pastor believes more can be done to provide a safe place for people to sleep.

Many makeshift homes near riverbeds were damaged or destroyed this rainy season, which has been marked by flash floods, forcing residents to relocate from flood-prone areas. 

Despite this, some individuals choose to remain in these high-risk zones, living under the constant threat of flooding.
