Namibia can be self sufficient when it comes to food security. During a trip through the Caprivi, Kavango and Kunene regions i stumbled across several CPP sponsored projects whereby many Namibians embarked on projects to ensure self sustainability. For the next ten days I invite you to stay tuned to this blog as I share the stories with the world.

Namibia is known for her wildlife, a herd of elephants

many Caprivians and Kavangos still practice the age
old tradition of setting old forage
on fire, This destroys thousands of hectares
of grazing and other valuable land.
The smoke ca b seen for miles, while it pollutes the air.

in a natural pond. This create a natural food source.

Family members gathered on the banks
while the more experienced catch
the fish with nets. The process is monitored
by inspectors from the fisheries,  to ensure
fingerlings are not taken from the water. 

Oil made from the "Mangetti" tree.
the oil is used for many things varying
from cooking, salad dressing while it even serves as
cosmetics. While extracting the
oil the byproducts are also used. 

Thousands of trees at the Ngoma forest. The trees
are close to a river, and creates the perfect environment
