DonateOn this page you can download the policy plan Stichting Van Uden Charity. With this policy plan the Foundation is laying down its policy intentions for the period from 1 January 2018 up to and including 31 December 2023. The policy to be pursued by the Foundation depends on different developments and the budget at its disposal. If these factors change, the Foundation will have to anticipate this and adjust its policy. To that extent the policy contains a dynamic element.
Open policy plan (PDF)At the beginning of 2013, the Van Uden board became partners in N/a’an kusê Holding Pty. This company is established in Windhoek, Namibia and by developing and exploiting various lodges and wildlife reserves in Namibia can support various good causes such as the N/a’an kusê Foundation.
In 2006, the successful Dutch entrepreneur Jan Verburg and his wife Tineke started N/a’an ku sê together with three Namibian health care entrepreneurs. By developing tourism in Namibia, better prospects can be offered to the native population. Each tourist means six jobs. Tourism contributes to the budget for health care improvement and education for the poorest but also contributes to the maintenance and improvement of the ecology of Namibia. On various N/a’an ku sê locations, wildlife reserves have been developed where threatened species are replaced in their habitat. Also wounded and motherless animals are cared for and if possible replaced or if not, in any case placed in a safe environment in one of the N/a’an ku sê game reserves.
