Epukiro:The construction of 40 housing units at the Eco-Village settlement in Omaheke's Epukiro Constituency has been hailed as a significant investment in the local community, particularly benefiting the marginalized San community.

According to Namibia Press Agency, Vice President Lucia Witbooi highlighted the importance of this development during the inauguration ceremony. She emphasized that the N$25 million investment goes beyond housing, aiming to enhance human dignity, family stability, and community resilience.

The housing units are designed to offer improved living conditions, security, and hope for the future. In addition to the residential properties, plans are underway for a community garden and a traditional ceremony area, expected to be completed by November 2026. These facilities aim to contribute to food security, skills development, and cultural preservation.

Witbooi stressed the Eco-Village's vision as a community that provides not just shelter but also supports livelihoods, cultural identity, and community bonds, fostering opportunities for future generations. She praised the N/a'an ku sê Foundation and other stakeholders for their contributions to this development.

The housing units are solar-powered and include two bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom, and are equipped with basic furnishings, providing a comprehensive living solution for the residents.

The #Kaon/ae Traditional Authority senior councillor Frans Chapman appreciated the N/a'an ku sê Foundation and partners for the change they brought to the community.
