About Us

Our company trains and employs people from the Nama & Oshiwanbo tribes, in the Southern Namibian desert, turning them into skilled artisans. This offers them not only employment, but the dignity of mastering a craft of which they can be proud – a trade they can pass down to their children and share within their communities. We are excited proud to have created a product of value and purpose in the harsh reality of the desert, using only renewable resources. The Mill USA connects a third-world manufacturer to a first-world economy through trade.

“Overcoming poverty is not an act of charity, it is an act of justice.”
