Namib Sky Community Trust

August 21, 2024

Namib Sky Community Trust is enhancing life in the Sossusvlei area by offering free primary education to children, running garden projects that support the school’s nutrition programme, and providing income opportunities through a sewing project that produces local curios.

Through these interconnected efforts, the Namib Sky is fostering a thriving community with improved opportunities and well-being.

1. Community School

At the heart of Namib Sky's mission is their vibrant community school, which offers free Early Childhood Development and lower primary education to children in a remote desert area. This school aims to provide quality education that inspires and equips young learners with the skills they need for a brighter future. By focusing on accessible and engaging education, the Trust is laying a solid foundation for the next generation. Beyond providing integrated education and a balanced nutrition plan for disadvantaged children, the school supports their families through self-improvement programs. These include parenting workshops, health and hygiene education, and skill-building opportunities like sewing and computer literacy.

2. Sewing Workshops

To help families become economically self-sufficient, Namib Sky Trust runs sewing workshops where people can learn valuable skills and create their own income-generating projects. These workshops are more than just a place to learn—they’re a stepping stone towards financial independence, allowing participants to produce and sell their own goods, and ultimately improve their economic situation.

3. Greenhouse Farming and Chickens

In the desert's harsh climate, where rain is scarce and growing food is tough, fresh produce often feels like a luxury due to high transport costs. Namib Sky supports sustainable agriculture through greenhouse farming and chicken rearing. By introducing modern farming techniques, they provide families with the tools to grow fresh vegetables and raise chickens, creating new opportunities for food security and income. This hands-on approach not only supports better nutrition but also helps families generate income through the sale of their produce and poultry.

Through these impactful projects, the Namib Sky Community Trust is offering a beacon of hope and practical solutions to uplift disadvantaged communities. By combining education with economic empowerment, they are creating pathways out of poverty and fostering a more prosperous future for all. NTS proudly sponsors a child's education at this community school. You can too - just ask us how.
