Effects of flood

It is closer to Angola and this cause the flood during the rainy season as the water flows from the rivers in Angola and it brings some positive and negative effects to the villagers. People can benefit as they catch barble fish and sell them to get something to help them to meet their daily needs. It has some impacts on them as it will destruct their daily activities, it will be hard for the people to get to the clinic and go to other places such as Oshikango.School kids won’t be able to go to school and their cross the water during cold mornings which leads to them to drop out of school.

Infrastructure

The infrastructure in the village are up to date, the roads are gravel and there is a supply of clean water and the electricity is available and this made it easy for schools to operate and to have an up-to-date technology
