About us
The Namib Desert Environmental Education Trust (NaDEET) is a non-profit, Namibian trust established in 2003. It is located 100 km south of Sesriem/Soussusvlei on the NamibRand Nature Reserve. NaDEET believes environmental education must not only increase awareness and knowledge but also eco-friendly attitudes and skills in Namibia's youth and educators to promote participation.

NaDEET Objectives
To provide environmental education for Namibians, regardless of income, by:

• addressing relevant environmental issues through hands-on, experimental learning.
• supporting the Namibian school curricula in a practical, learner-centred way.
• providing the opportunity of experiencing the county's namesake - the Namib Desert - first hand, thus creating a sense of respect and responsibility for their natural environment.

NaDEET Projects

• Environmental Education at NaDEET Centre
  We offer three to five day hands-on, experiential, environmental education programmes for Namibians. Most of our programmes are attended by primary school children. However we also offer courses to secondary schools, out of school youth, educators and community members.
  
  
• Environmental Literacy Projects
  The main NaDEET literacy project is a youth magazine available at no cost to all learners, educators and interested citizens in Namibia, called the Bush Telegraph. Approximately 13,000 learners and educators are currently subscribed. It aims to increase knowledge of and improve attitudes towards our environment through reading. This project is complemented by our new "It's Time to ..." activity book and guide book series.
