| HOW THE OTJIMBOYO COMMUNITY GARDEN project will permanently address climate change challenges: 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. It will furthermore be the first time where the plight of the community is documented, and the solutions implemented shared with the world. This will place Otjimboyo on the map and open up other adaption possibilities in terms of attracting tourist to the area, crete awareness for resource funding / donations and supplying surrounding lodges and villages with fresh produce and deriving an income thereof. |
