RUNDU (NAMIBIA), Nov. 15, 2024 — A staff member of the China Henan International Cooperation Group (CHICO) works at a road construction site in Rundu, Kavango East region, Namibia, on Oct. 29, 2024. Elizabeth Simboti, a vibrant 60-year-old woman from Mbora Village in Namibia’s rural Kavango East region, vividly recalls the immense challenges she once faced in her goat-selling business. Poor road conditions in her remote village of 200 households made it nearly impossible for buyers to access her livestock, leaving her dreams of growth stifled. A turning point came when the China Henan International Cooperation Group (CHICO) began upgrading the region’s roads from sand to gravel as part of the Namibian government’s initiative to enhance transport infrastructure, bringing new hope to communities like Mbora.
