The government allocates close to N$4,1 million every month to support over 3000 people with disabilities in the Erongo Region.

Erongo Governor Neville Andre has, however, expressed dissatisfaction with the situation where senior citizens are left alone to care for children with disabilities.

Andre, speaking at the handover ceremony of 300 food parcels to Arandis senior citizens, emphasised that many young people lack the necessary skills to care for children with disabilities.
