Background
The founder of Lusthof Farming is a 55-year-old widow with over three decades of farming experience. Her journey began in 1994 alongside her late husband and deepened after his passing in 2014, eventually leading her to transition into full-time farming in July 2024. Resettled under the Namibia Government Resettlement Program in 2019, she has since built a resilient and purpose-driven agricultural enterprise. Through Lusthof Farming, she is strongly committed to women’s empowerment, with women making up more than half of the workforce and leading daily operations across poultry, aquaculture, and horticulture. Her work not only sustains her family but also creates meaningful opportunities and livelihoods for women in the Kunene Region.
