Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships
Collaborating with other NGOs
We have partnered with like-minded non-governmental organisations (NGOs) such as Namibia Planned Parenthood Association (NAPPA), which focuses on health, education, and social services. These collaborations help our clinic expand its outreach and support advocacy efforts.
Building Relationships with Governmental Ministries
Our collaborations with governmental ministries, including the Ministry of Health and Social Services, are mutually beneficial. They ensure our clinic's services align with national health priorities and policies while also providing us with access to government resources, training programmes, and data. In return, we keep our partners informed about policy changes and new health initiatives.
Collaborating with Referral Hospitals
We have created critical referral pathways with Windhoek Central Hospital and Intermediate Hospital Katutura to ensure that patients who require specialised care can be transferred quickly and efficiently. This collaboration enables a seamless progression of care for patients, reduces delays in treatment, and enhances patient outcomes, particularly for complex cases that necessitate higher-level care.
Building Relationships with Local Clinics and Health Centres
The #BeFree Cares Clinic can extend its reach to a broader population by collaborating with nearby clinics and health centres. Local clinics refer patients to our services, while our clinic offers support in areas where other health centres may need more expertise or resources, such as in contraception methods.
Partnering with Academic Institutions
We have partnered with the University of Namibia (UNAM), which allows our clinic to engage in research and stay updated on the latest developments in sexual and reproductive health.
Outreach
The #BeFree Cares Mobile Clinic Outreach Programme is a vital step towards improving the health and well-being of adolescents and young people in vulnerable communities within the Khomas Region and surrounding areas. By providing essential reproductive health services, including HIV/STI testing, contraception and mental health support, the programme aims to reduce health risks, prevent unintended pregnancies and empower individuals to lead healthy lives. This initiative underscores our commitment to promoting equity and inclusion in healthcare, ensuring that marginalised populations receive the attention and care they deserve.
Testimonies
Safeguarding our Nation’s Physical and Mental Health
Established through our health pillar, the #BeFree Cares Clinic is a world-class facility that offers accessible and holistic sexual reproductive health services in an environment that values confidentiality, and that is neither intimidating nor judgmental - a place where young people will feel comfortable and respected.
​
Wellness Hub
The Wellness Hub offers free psycho-social support and counselling, featuring the on-site presence of an interdenominational youth pastor and a quiet space for prayer and reflection. We provide a non-judgmental environment where you can feel accepted and understood.
The #BeFree Cares Clinic is grounded in the belief that health services should address physical and psychological needs. We are dedicated to breaking the stigma surrounding health and wellness, with a particular emphasis on Women’s Health and Gender-based Violence and Femicide, and promoting mental health awareness.
