Welcome to the Namib Desert Environmental Education Trust (NaDEET)

Teachers, institutional workers and management from the Brukkaros School Cluster in the //Kharas Region reflected on their recent workshop at NaDEET: “It was awesome, fun, adventurous and a learning experience. I now have better knowledge to help save the environment and the programme was so practical. I am now 100% of the SDGs”. Thank you to the Namibia Project for your long standing support of this community.

In our continuous effort to be more sustainable, we have commenced with establishing a sustainable gardening project. The project aims to produce fresh food for our Centre programmes and importantly to be a teaching garden.  It is part of a larger renovation project to modernize our operational base. The realization of this garden project was made possible by sponsorship from the Reinke family from Germany.

“Closing the gap between learning for the environment and practicing for the environment”- were the words spoken by Hon. Deputy Minister of Education Anna Hipondoka to congratulate NaDEET in her keynote address at the celebration event in Windhoek. With the 2017 prize winner Sihlengeni Primary School from Zimbabwe, the event brought together international and local EE/ESD stakeholders to celebrate and share ideas. After the celebration, a fortunate group of 20 delegates travelled to NaDEET Centre for a two-day hands-on learning experience. Read here the reflections of one of the participants.
