Unemployment has forced many residents of Omatako village in the Tsumkwe West Constituency to rely on selling firewood as their primary source of income to support their families.
Omatako is one of the villages in the constituency, pressed by unemployment.
The work is labour-intensive.
Youth in Otjiwarongo refuse to lie idle, waiting for job opportunities to be created, and have ventured into selling firewood.
Most residents in Otjiwarongo's informal settlement depend on firewood for cooking and other energy needs, hence the reason to start a firewood business.
Kitchen staff at the Divundu Combined School in the Kavango East Region are using firewood to prepare food for the learners since September last year.
