Namibia
In Namibia begann die Geschichte von Mudiro. Seit 2014 hat Mudiro im Norden des Landes, insbesondere entlang des Kavango, medizinische Aus- und Weiterbildung aufgebaut, lokale Gesundheitsfachpersonen begleitet und gemeinsam mit Spitälern, staatlichen Stellen, Communities und weiteren Partnern gearbeitet.
Über zwölf Jahre entstanden Beziehungen, Vertrauen, praktische Erfahrung und ein tiefes Verständnis dafür, was nachhaltiger Wissenstransfer im medizinischen Alltag bedeutet. Diese Arbeit bleibt ein wichtiger Teil von Mudiro. Gleichzeitig ermöglicht sie heute den nächsten Entwicklungsschritt: Erfahrungen, Learnings und bewährte Elemente des Modells strukturiert nach Zambia zu übertragen.
Die bestehenden Namibia-Inhalte – Mobile Clinic, medizinische Weiterbildung, Frauenprojekte, Wasser, Kindergärten, Erfahrungsberichte und Jahresberichte – sollen online erhalten bleiben und unter diesem Kapitel zugänglich sein.
Our Fields of Engagement
Mudiro has been operating in the north of Namibia since 2014, along the Kavango River, on the border with Angola. Around 200,000 Kavango live here, consisting of several subgroups. The regional capital of the Kavango, Rundu, is the second largest city in Namibia with 90,000 inhabitants after Windhoek with 410,000 inhabitants.
In Namibia, there are economically developed and medically equipped regions around Windhoek and Swakopmund, and then there is the precarious health situation in the northern third of the country. The overall picture of Namibia shows extremely unequal regional differences. The economy is much less advanced in the rural north, and the Ministry of Health and Social Services cannot supply the resources to provide sufficient medical staff, doctors, and health professionals, nor to promote the further training of existing personnel. Mudiro works diligently to close this gap.
Mudiro’s approach strongly involves the local villagers and collaborates with ministries. Helping people to help themselves is paramount. Being welcome on complementary levels is the key to effective and sustainable engagement.
