In 2015, it was registered with the the UK Charity Commission as Namibia Project Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).
The Namibia Project now works solely to support partner schools in Namibia. In particular, it has strong working partnership with the IlKhuta!hoas Primary School near Berseba in the Kharas region in the southern part of Namibia.
It also has connections with the Dr. Alpo Mauno Mbamba Junior Secondary School in Rundu in the north of the country.
According to the website: “Importantly, these two schools have been able to develop means to help themselves as a result of our fund-raising.”
