Namibia, a vast nation on Africa’s southwestern coast, is defined by striking contrasts: the towering dunes of the Namib Desert, rugged mountains, and a wild Atlantic shoreline. Beyond its dramatic landscapes, Namibia is home to a small but diverse population, with many ethnic groups, languages, and traditions woven into daily life. Most Namibians identify as Christian, while still honoring long-standing cultural practices and deep connections to the land.

From the coastal city of Walvis Bay to the capital of Windhoek and the remote rural communities of the north, people navigate challenges related to distance, limited infrastructure, and access to essential services. It is within this unique context that CMANA serves, working alongside local partners to address critical health needs, strengthen systems of care, and support communities as they build a healthier future grounded in their rich heritage.
