Cofeed Namibia and donors make a significant difference in Nyae Nyae and N≠a Jaqna Conservancies

Through the work of CoFeed Namibia and their generous donors, every village in Nyae Nyae and N≠a Jaqna Conservancy have received a box of clothes and another box of food. 

A vast amount of clothes and food have been donated by Woolworths, Cymot, RMB Namibia through the Hope initiative of FirstRand Namibia, Bokomo Namibia and private individuals. These donations are being distributed to the San communities in Nyae Nyae and N≠a Jaqna Conservancies during July and August. The San communities always find the winter months difficult, but with COVID-19 and the absence of tourism and Trophy Hunting to supplement their income and food, it has been a particularly harsh winter so far this year.

The Nyae Nyae Conservancy Chairperson said, as the donations were distributed, that the donations would significantly help the community in these difficult winter months that were proving harder than ever before.
