Nellie Dina Kahua talks about injustice and what needs to change to make housing a reality for domestic workers

DESERT FM July 18, 2025

[PODCAST]

Domestic workers are the silent backbone of many households across Namibia  cleaning, cooking, caring for our children and elderly  often under difficult conditions and for very low pay.
But now, they are raising their voices in a collective call for dignity: the right to own land and access affordable housing.

At a recent policy advocacy workshop in Windhoek, domestic workers shared painful experiences of being excluded from housing finance, government schemes, and land allocation  despite working for decades and reliably paying rent.

Joining us now is Nellie Dina Kahua, the General Secretary of the Namibia Domestic and Allied Workers Union  NDAWU  to talk about this injustice and what needs to change to make housing a reality for domestic workers.
