KAMYAAK VILLAGE
The Kamyaak community is setting an example in taking action for the well-being, dignity, and empowerment of disadvantage communities by locals, for locals and the world. In order to find solutions for challenges posed by climate change, social justice, poverty, and exodus.
We think that communities can contribute positively to today's challenges. Cultural exchange (sharing of experiences, expertise, and knowledge) between individuals is one of our main focuses.
With the project Kamyaak Village, we are working towards understanding other perspectives in the conception of development (environmentally, socially, and culturally) in Africa.
