Soulfood Namibia

Soulfood Namibia is a support association for community development projects in Ovamboland in Namibia. Our local partner organization "Mwakotoka Community Development Project" is in charge of planning and implementing all of the projects we support. The collaboration arose from a personal friendship between our board members. As a non-profit association, we are able to apply for funds for non-profit purposes from public bodies and to collect private donations. We want to structurally improve access to drinking water, basic medical care and educational opportunities for the people in Oluundje.

Our Principles

The term "development cooperation" is increasingly replacing the previously used term "development aid". We don't want to dwell on terminology, we want to take action, because we are convinced that only the concept of cooperation can lead to success. In concrete terms, this means that motivation, ideas and implementation must arise and take place on site. We only contribute to the success of this process with the means at our disposal.
