“As a community we stand together in managing our natural resources by protecting our environment and wild animals and introducing alternative solutions to ensure food security”
The Otjimboyo conservancy is one of the smallest conservancies in the Erongo Region. There only about 342 persons living in 8 settlements in the area. Due to its size the conservancy seems to have been neglected in support and is one of the most vulnerable communities in Namibia as they bear the brunt of the climate change induced drought.
By introducing new ways of doing business, this project will open up new avenues of sustainable living in a desert area severely impacted by sustained drought due to climate change.
Otjimboyo will be a model of food production in an arid area. The capacity building and empowerment training provides desperately needed skills and motivation to the inhabitants to consider their plight from a perspective of opportunity, rather than despair.

The implementation of solar lighting will also cover the access to renewable energy resource. De-commissioning the outdated and old diesel power water pumps will reduce CO² emmisions
The Otjmboyo Conservancy has not had any assistance to counter the climate change effects they are subjected to. This will be a major intervention to establish sustainable development activities that benefit all the communities of the conservancy and will kickstart the conservancy to sustained resilience and meaningful adaptation to the climate change induced crisis these vulnerable people endure.
The people of the Otjimboyo Conservancy are in dire straits. This small and extremely vulnerable community is bearing the direct brunt of the prevailing climate crisis. The drought of several years in succession has hit both people, fauna and flora severely. There is only one major fresh water supply, i.e for both villages of Omihana and Otujapi. Elderly people and children have to walk up to 3 km to fetch water for their homes.
