Gabriel Tomas Peyeualenga, Administration and Communication Assistant at Palms for Life Namibia – International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.

Desert FM’s Jane Kandetu sits down with Gabriel Thomas, an administration and communications assistant at Palms for Life Namibia, to explore what true poverty alleviation looks like on the ground.

Moving beyond financial metrics, Thomas emphasises that poverty is fundamentally about an individual’s access to basic human rights —including quality education, nutritious food, clean water, proper sanitation, and safe housing.
