our responsibility

Wadadee is currently the only guest-house that intentionally attracts international tourists, and for these reason we are very protective of any students, volunteers or travellers that come and stay with us. You will notice throughout this website, we have consistently referred to guests as family members, at Wadadee we look to incorporate all arriving guests into the family, creating a positive atmosphere that welcomes you to Katutura and to Wadadee.

as well as contribute to the economic development of the community creating higher standards of living and alleviating poverty. The history of Katutura is negatively scarred by the systematic racialism created by the apartheid system, so by bringing tourists to the community we can help to break down some of the barriers that exist between different racial groups.

This type of change is not just isolated to Katutura, when Wadadee family members speak to people unfamiliar with Katutura, who live in other parts of Windhoek they become an ambassador of Katutura and can breakdown the incorrect perceptions associated with safety, friendliness and identity (among other things). You will find once you are in Katutura, a number of the negative stereotypes you might have heard prior to arrival were in fact incorrect, and that quite the opposite is the truth.

The long term goal is to make Wadadee a focal point of tourism in Katutura, attracting even larger numbers of tourists, which should encourage the growth of secondary businesses that complement the tourist industry and contribute to job creation and a reduction in the unemployment. Currently Wadadee employs nine people, almost all of them from Katutura, these people all have families that they support and are reliant on their income generated through working at Wadadee. All of our workers earn more than the minimum Namibian wage, and each of them are an integral part of Wadadee. Moreover, through future growth projects (currently in the pipeline), Wadadee aims to create both short and longer term jobs, through continued investment Wadadee will continue to support Katutura and continue to change peoples lives.
