The Pottery Project: Together with basket-making, pottery has a long history in the north-central regions of Namibia, with the oshanas (depressions that fill up with water during the rainy season) providing not only fish but deposits of clay.

The Onankali Omahangu Paper Project: Mahangu or pearl millet is the staple food of the north-central regions. Able to grow in low-rainfall, high temperatures and low soil fertility, it is eaten in a variety of dishes and drinks, and the stalks are used to feed cattle and thatch roofs. In 2002, yet another use for this versatile subsistence crop was found.
