Namibia stuns travelers with its striking desert landscapes, wildlife safaris, and German-influenced coastal towns. The towering dunes of Sossusvlei and the wildlife of Etosha National Park are highlights.

Namibia’s national poverty rate is around 17 percent, though in northern regions like Oshana and Kavango it exceeds 50 percent. Around 60 percent of NGO funding comes from international donors, while domestic fundraising remains weak. Many rural communities lack basic healthcare and educational services. Volunteers play a key role in health education programs and youth development workshops.
