Cultural Development for Namibia
Welcome to the website of the Living Culture Foundation Namibia (LCFN). The LCFN is a non-profit, German-Namibian organisation, which focuses on cultural cooperation in rural areas in Namibia.
We help poor Namibians to establish so called Living Museums. A Living Museum is an interesting and authentic way of presenting traditional culture. A Living Museums is a cultural school for tradition and a communal Namibian tourism business at the same time. Tourists and Travelers can visit a Living Museum and thus can actively contribute to the preservation of traditional culture and fight against poverty in Namibia.

About 14 kilometres east of the Kavango capital Rundu you can find a place unlike any other: The Living Museum of the Mbunza, a traditional school for culture and at the same time a communal business for the local people of the Kavango. With this sustainable project they will be able to preserve their traditional culture and to generate an additional income.
