Community capacity building, Namibia

Side by side photos showing Namibian women at the community capacity building program.

COL is supporting the training of communities in Namibia to meet local needs while addressing environmental issues and climate change through sustainable agricultural practices. The Khomas Directorate of Adult Education and Lifelong Learning is partnering with COL’s GIRLS Inspire initiative to offer literacy, entrepreneurship and livelihood skills to women and girls, inluding persons with disabilities, in ten districts of the Khomas region.

Through the project, COL is offering young women an opportunity for empowerment through self-employment. The trainers are uniquely placed to transform participants’ lives, as they have expertise in adult and lifelong learning and can expand the training to include farm machinery repair, pottery, general carpentry and plumbing.
