Feature: Namibian women empowered for better future through art initiative


WINDHOEK, April 4 (Xinhua) -- In the Goreangab township northwest of Namibia's capital, Windhoek, Victoria Ndilimeke applied wax and dye to the fabric at a workshop, creating colorful patterns. This batik work is part of a sought-after art collection produced by over 20 women at Penduka Trust, which is a women-empowering initiative to utilize art as a catalyst to help locals secure a better life.

"I may have lost count of how many crafts I have produced, but I never forgot how art here transformed my life for the better," Ndilimeke said on Thursday.
