Latest projects
2020 Has begun with a lot of controversial problems. The Children’s Movement Namibia has done well to keep up with this Trend.
From hosting a live Online tvShow TheRadicalShow on both facebook and youtube. The week before Namibia received it’s first Covid-19 case, we held our first Anti_Corona workshop, to teach people how to build N95 approved masks and Squeezy-Bottle.
We also started the year with a workshop on People’s rights and responsibilities. We also showcased the famous WonderBag as a solution for keeping food liquids at a maintained temperature, this saves energy and hence it is good for the environment. We also have been advocating for strengthened laws against Gender Based Violence Perpetrators.

Garden Project South
Gardening for the Future
Klein Aub is situated 200km south of Windhoek with a population of approximately 750 people. Income is generated through farm work and tourism.
The community garden was started in April with the generous support of friends and family from Germany.
The environment here is very harsh with rocky ground, frost, heat and wind. This is why we chose to cover the whole Garden and plant in bags.
The positive is that we have good water!
We will gather experience this year to build a foundation of knowledge for the coming years.
We have planted: potatoes, cabbage, beetroot, maize, onions, carrots, tomatoes, salad, cucumber, greenpepper, peanuts, watermelon, butternut and some fruit trees.
After the initial investment the ongoing costs are basically labour. Hopefully we will come to a point were we work in exchange for veggies.
