The Forum for African Women Educationalists in Namibia, FAWENA, is a National Chapter of the Pan-African Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE). We are an NGO that works to increase access, improve retention and enhance the quality of education for vulnerable girls and women in Namibia. We do this through: Policy Advocacy, Community Advocacy, Interventions, Replication and Mainstreaming, and Strategic Partnerships.

Education has direct benefits for girls and women and leads to extensive benefits for society at large. It reduces fertility rates, reduces child and infant mortality rates, improves nutrition and health, protects girls and women from abuse, exploitation and HIV/AIDS, increases economic productivity and growth, and improves governance and democratic processes.
