role mothers play in our lives from the moment we are born. With the innate love and compassion, they are born with, mothers care, they nurture and they protect and guide as we go through the challenges of growing up. As primary caregivers, they are pivotal in moulding personality, strengthening social cohesion and the promotion of a caring Namibia.
