BACKGROUND
Lubango parish has a linage of problems but among the many the key ones are as follows. There is no health unit. The nearest health centre is in utumba Trading Centre, a distance of 10 Kms. We have lost many people, mainly pregnant women and Cholera patients,
- There is no safe water. People use lake water for domestic use – with the threat of Bilhazia. Many of our relatives have lost their lives because of the wild crocodiles which use them as their food!
- Lubango parish faces very long droughts resulting I poor harvests. Because of ow earnings many projects have been on a stand still. E.g. our main church building hasnot been completed and even the vicarage house in in the same state and the parish priest has no residence at HQS.
- We have a big portion of land which needs development. There is need for the following:-
A secondary school (much needed because the children are only getting primary education since the only secondary schools are many Kms away and there are bad roads and no public transport.)
A Technical school (for vocational training)
A Health Centre.
If all the above are put in place our people will have a chance of educating their young children to become self reliant and help this parish to develop by the year 2020.
