Welcome to the Namib Desert Environmental Education Trust (NaDEET)

A recent group of primary schoolchildren are enjoying their snack break on our upcycled seating area at the Urban Sustainability Centre on a sunny day. 

Over the past two months, we have travelled throughout the entire country to visit almost all our participating teachers and schools. The site visits are an important opportunity for teachers to showcase their work to us demonstrating the many creative ways they have applied environmental sustainability and to get personalised guidance.

We were heartily welcomed by all.

“NaDEET is a very cool, fun, and nice place where you get to learn about our environment and how to recycle,” said one of the Flamingo Primary School schoolchildren, our first primary school to take part in the 3-day programme at the Urban Centre since our relocation.

The children enjoyed all the new and revamped activities. They shared that when they return to school, they will be “unique and better learners” who care for the environment.
