Namibian Farm workers are some of the lowest paid in Namibia, and farming is not an easy task as farms are big,,the sun hot,,,and be it working with livestock or crops both need a lot of attention. Commercial farming is dominated by white farmers, and since many farm workers are unskilled they do not earn a good income, how ever they stay for free on the farm, get basic rations like milk, meat vegetables and maize as part of their compensation, it remains difficult to survive. And when you are married and have children,,even more difficult. A farming community at Hochfeld ( about 180 kilometers from Windhoek ) raised money among themselves and built a multipurpose community hall. The hall is used for school, with adjacent hostel facilities, and Sundays it is a church for both farmers and their employees, and the gospel comes from both black and white ...this is only one story of a winning recipe if all work together for one common goal,,,humanity and the upliftment of every citizen within our borders...
