WHERE WE WORK

The Namibia Project is based in the UK and works solely to support our partner schools in Namibia.

 

WHY NAMIBIA?

 

Namibia, a country in south-west Africa, is truly breathtaking.  Few countries in Africa can match its sheer, natural beauty.  Did you know that it’s one of the best places on the continent to watch wildlife? 

However, its politics tells a complicated story of colonial settlement and oppression, with the effects of the South African apartheid regime echoing into modern generations.  

Also, it has difficult climactic conditions; mostly desert, it’s a hot, dry country with erratic rainfall.  Prolonged periods of drought remain a key problem.  With quality education hard to come by, and a high HIV/AIDS rate, it’s perhaps little wonder that over half the country lives below the poverty line.

Whilst we can’t change the whole world, the Namibia Project adheres strictly to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals – basic human rights that belong to all of us: health, education, shelter and security.  These are the fundamental lodestones by which we operate. 

And nowhere is this more pressing than in the environments that we have chosen as our focus:

​

• We have a strong working partnership with the IlKhuta!hoas Primary School near Berseba in the Kharas region in the southern part of Namibia.

• The Namibia Project also has connections with the Dr. Alpo Mauno Mbamba Junior Secondary School in Rundu in the north of the country. 

 

Importantly, these two schools have been able to develop means to help themselves as a result of our fund-raising. With motivation, the people with the least are making a sustainable future for themselves. They’re achieving more, not less. 

Our aim is to relieve sickness and financial hardship. Whilst we’re getting there, the battle goes on.  Get involved with the Namibia Project.  We truly are saving our own lives when we help save the lives of others.
