The Khwe community residing at Chetto, a village in Bwabwata National Park, says they feel out of touch with the rest of Namibia and the world.

The villagers have never had access to a radio frequency.

The Khwe are one of the indigenous San groups who live on the stretch of land between the Kavango and Kwando rivers in Bwabwata National Park.

About 6,700 Khwe reside in the many villages found in the park.

Those who live in Cheto say access to information is a foreign concept to them.
