What began as a small woodworking project in Mondesa, Swakopmund, has grown into a source of livelihood for several young men seeking a better future.
Arnoldus Marvin Hoakhaob (39) started Inspired Wood Craft more than five years ago with the intention of teaching men and women furniture-making skills.
Over time, the workshop evolved into an employment opportunity for about five young men, many of whom previously struggled to find work.
Using recycled wooden pallets, the team produces a variety of furniture, including tables, chairs and lounge sets. The handcrafted products sell for around N$2,000, depending on the design and size.
For the young craftsmen, the workshop has become their primary source of income, allowing them to support themselves while learning valuable skills.
Hoakhaob balances his passion for woodworking with his full-time job as an assistant operator at a local waste management company.
Despite his work commitments, he continues to invest his time and resources into helping young people build a sustainable future through craftsmanship.

Not all people are racists. I know that as a fact based on living in the real world.
Based on the number of posts this morning celebrating Dricus Du Plesies’ loss. I think 99% of black people on X are indeed racists.
National dialogue completed. We know what is the problem in SA.
Black Racists.
He should be fired. Extremely dangerous to allow the head of the SANDF to get political and get away with it. It’s a line that no civilian government must ever allow to be crossed, even by a millimetre.
