Development cooperation in Namibia ... slightly different

The philosophy and principles of the Living Culture Foundation Namibia are often different to the understanding of development cooperation of other development organizations in Namibia. In general we think quite critical about the "development industry" because not only positive things are done. Indeed development cooperation produces not seldom the opposite of development. 

We help where we can, but only in places or communites where our help is desired, where there is a real interest in development and where own work will be brought in. We never ever help through financing only, but through the transfer of ideas, educational opportunities and motivation for selfresponsible development of projects. 

Here you can learn more about our philosophy and our understanding of development cooperation in Namibia.

The international development industry and the United Nations Development Project are working towards an ideological aim, the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs). Allthough the LCFN is independent and not working together with governmental or international organisations, some of the MDGs could come closer to realization through the work of the LCFN in Namibia.
