With the Community
Communities lead. We follow. Together we create lasting impact.
The Grow Namibia Foundation exists to amplify community voices, not replace them. Conservancies and local committees are the decision-makers, co-designers, and stewards of every initiative we support.
We don't impose solutions. We don't claim to know better. We listen, provide resources, build capacity, and ensure that those who protect Namibia's natural heritage benefit from their stewardship.
Our Community Principles
Communities Lead, We Follow
Conservancies and community committees identify needs, co-design solutions, and own the outcomes. We provide resources and connections—not directives.
Stewardship Rewards
Those who protect the land should benefit from it. We ensure that conservation generates tangible value for communities through tourism, permits, and sustainable livelihoods.
Long-Term Partnerships
We don't parachute in with one-off projects. We build ongoing relationships based on trust, mutual respect, and shared commitment to Namibia's CBNRM vision.
How to Partner With Us
If your conservancy or community committee has identified an urgent need, here's how we work together
Identify the Need
Community committees or conservancy leadership identify an urgent challenge or opportunity that requires external support.
Initial Contact
Reach out to us via email, phone, or through existing partners. We respond quickly and schedule a consultation.
Co-Design Solutions
We work together to design practical interventions, establish transparent budgets, and define success metrics.
Approval & Implementation
Once conservancy committees approve and prerequisites are met, we mobilize resources and begin implementation with regular updates.
Conservancy Partners
We're proud to work alongside Namibia's conservancies—community-led organizations that manage natural resources, protect wildlife, and create sustainable livelihoods. Our partnerships are built on mutual respect, transparent communication, and shared commitment to CBNRM principles.
As our portfolio grows, we'll showcase specific conservancy partnerships and the impact we've created together. For now, we're focused on building trust and delivering results.
