Nama Karoo Conservation South Africa

KAROOTS

Karoo People have the oldest DNA of all human beings. Their ancestors spoke San/Bushmen dialects such as Nama or !Xam. Karoots offers education, skills & employment opportunities to the most disadvantaged people of South Africa.

NKF assists with education and/or skills training:

• Individually awarded scholarships

• Individuals who have proven entrepreneurial skills

• Skills training that will lead to conservation-related jobs

• Initiatives which bring tourism-based income to the Karoo

• Initiatives promoting the cultural identity and/or welfare of Karoo people
