For many homeless individuals, Christmas is just another difficult day.

The holiday season can be particularly difficult for them, as they are often faced with loneliness and hunger.

Little is left for them as they rummage through the bins because people have gone away for holidays.

As the city becomes quieter, the homeless population continues to beg on the streets, but they feel even more isolated and vulnerable.

There are organisations and shelters in Windhoek that strive to provide some comfort and support to the homeless during Christmas.
