The JP Brandt Primary School hostel, located at Utuseb in the Namib desert, has undergone a facelift worth N$1.2 million.

Principal Anna Josti says since it was built 45 years ago, no major renovations have been done on the school and hostel, located 40 kilometres from Walvis Bay.

The Topnaar community in the Erongo Region is in need of a vocational training center, as well as other private educational institutions that could cater to the youth.
