Selected grantee report

The Omba Arts Trust embarked on a palm survey in the Kavango region at the end of 2017 and in early 2018, where they have been working since 1992. They also supported the planting of more than 1,000 Makalani Palm nuts in five community gardens and 40 Bird Plum (Berchemia discolor) tree seedlings, an important dye source, planted at the homestead gardens of basket weavers. This project was supported financially via the Namibian Chamber of Environment (NCE) by B2Gold Namibia and Total.
