MEYU

Education and drinking water

As Eco-Lodge we live in close relationship with the local community. We see where help is needed the most. With our development poject MEYU we focus on education projects and clean water supply. 

Education is super important in Namibia, but without proper buildings and water supply it’s almost not possible to maintain the education all year round in our area.

Meyu means water

The goal of MEYU is to support the local community of the Hambukushu with kindergarten and school projects and to drill boreholes for clean water supply. The projects are funded by RIVERDANCE Lodge, our friends back home in Switzerland and our guests. 

We depend on your generosity

When we had almost no revenues in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid we set up a crowdfunding initiative to continue our development work. Over 500’000 N$ were donated! With this money we built another kindergarten and started the expensive drillings to search for good ground water.

Now after the times of covid the financing of our development work depends again on the success of the lodge and the generosity of our guests and friends.
