Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) recently sent a group of 10 young people to South Africa for a year-long study in hospitality at the South African College of Tourism in Graaff-Reinet. The initiative is sponsored by NWR and the Peace Parks Foundation, a non-profit organisation based in South Africa that facilitates the establishment of trans-frontier conservation areas.
The youths were chosen from the marginalised Hai-//Om San and Ovahimba communities. This is the second time that trainees have been sent on the programme. The initiative was originally offered to only five young women, but this year a young man from the Ovahimba community was also included among the 10.
Last year’s group graduated from the South African College of Tourism with certificates in hospitality. This initiative is part of a developmental programme in Namibia and South Africa, based on the mandate NWR received from the two countries to develop tourism in the region. It aims to empower marginalised women with the necessary skills to work in the hospitality industry.
