Namibia: Theresia Foundation Offers Tea of Hope

23 April 2014

Rundu — The Deputy Minister of Health and Social Services, Petrina Haingura, visited the Theresia Orphans and Vulnerable Children's Foundation yesterday to look at how the foundation cares for children and processes tea.

The foundation has started to plant and process the Moringa Oleifera leaves to make tea, among other uses. The plant is said to be a good source of protein, calcium, iron and beta-carotene which is converted to vitamin A, C and E once it enters the human body. The Theresia foundation cares for children from disadvantaged backgrounds, mainly orphans and vulnerable children from Mavandje and Sharukwe villages. Vegetables to feed the children are also cultivated.
