The first idea
I am Alicia Dipierri, an Argentinian residing in Namibia since 2019. Throughout my time here, my passion for helping others has led me to actively contribute to various social projects and volunteer for numerous organizations. My journey began with small initiatives, such as engaging with children on the streets, accompanying them to hospitals, and collecting toys for orphanages. As these projects gradually expanded, I observed a growing interest from friends who wanted to join and support these endeavors.
Recognizing the need for a more organized approach as the projects evolved, the idea of Umbrella Initiatives was conceived. This initiative aims to streamline and account for all the collaborative efforts made by volunteers, donors, and myself. It serves as a central hub where our collective contributions and dedication come together to make a positive impact in the community.
Our team!
Our team is both expansive and diverse, encompassing volunteers, donors, and beneficiaries, all integral parts of Umbrella Initiatives. The success of this project hinges on the collaborative efforts of each individual involved. It is through our collective work that this initiative thrives. Together we can do a lot for others!
Volunteers
Our amazing volunteers help in different ways, using their special skills and abilities. Some tackle tough tasks, others share our message with more people, and some help with packing and distributing. If you support our mission and have some time to spare, we'd love for you to join us in making a positive impact!

"It has been a great experience to work on these projects together, and an even better feeling to know that all projects are implemented where needed. No commissions, no administrative procedures, but direct work with those in need, small-scale. Keep on!"

"My experience at CLASH was truly amazing. When I received the call to assist, I didn't hesitate to come on board. My primary motivation was to bring smiles to the faces of the little kids. Everything I did was driven by a heartfelt desire to lend a helping hand out of love."
Alessandra Laricchia
"As an expat, living in Namibia, where many people are in need, I have always felt the need/obligation to know better the reality surrounding me and, if possible, to help. But sometimes it’s not so easy. When I heard about Umbrella Initiatives, I thought it was the perfect way to properly direct my help, and I started to feel better!"

“Although I feel that it is never enough, the little I can contribute to people in dire need of basic things can make a big difference for them. My motivation is to help wherever I can to lessen the burden of people struggling with those basic needs. Umbrella Initiatives helped me to channel my contributions.”
