Our Social Ecological Project
Namibia’s population is faced prevailing wealth inequality and especially citizens living within communal areas are often excluded from partaking in international value chains and resort to living a traditional lifestyle, based on subsistence farming methods. Despite having the opportunity to access some natural resources which are highly sought within the international cosmetic industry, a lack of formal education and coordination prevent these individuals within communal areas to establish much-needed income opportunities.
​
Our aim and vision is to support women in rural, dry desert areas within Namibia to build up their own Jojoba plantation and harvesting centres and become a part of the whole value chain. With workshops and knowledge transfer, we assure that the new farmers gain all needed skills to make their story a success.
In front of this background, Namib Desert Oils established an inclusive business model, aiming at creating international value chains within the cosmetic industry.
To establish plantations, wild harvesting areas and educational harvesting centers in rural Namibia.
​
Upskilling farmers to cultivate and commercialize their produce, becoming a valued partner in a smart social-ecological business concept.
Communities to take over more and more decisions in production and management towards generating continuous economic growth, prosperity and independence.
