Welcome to the Namib Desert Environmental Education Trust (NaDEET)

One of our Kitchen Educators, Lulu, teaches schoolchildren from Stampriet Primary School how to solar cook using a parabolic solar cooker. In Namibia, wood is a scarce natural resource. To protect our environment, our participants at NaDEET Centre make use of the abundant solar energy to sustainably cook their meals. 

School children from Taking Hands Educational Centre in Omaruru spent a week at NaDEET Urban Centre where they learned about environmental sustainability through hands-on and creative activities! By combining environmental education and art, the children were able to learn in a fun and interactive way, enhancing their learning experience.

“We learned a lot about biodiversity, and it was fun!"

Secondary school learners from Otjivero C.S Environmental Club recently spent time at NaDEET, and biodiversity exploration was one of their highlights! Participants enjoyed exploring, discovering and identifying different species in the Namib Desert. At the NaDEET Centre, participants learn about the importance of biodiversity and how we can live in harmony with our natural environment using our own “It’s Time to Identify” guidebook.
