The Wilderness Therapy Namibia (WTN) Programme started in 2008 as an alternative approach to reach out to troubled adolescents between the ages of 16 and 20 years.

The WTN Programme aims to de-stigmatize therapy and counseling through an adventure-based, physically challenging, wilderness experience.

The programme aims to inspire and motivate the participant to change behavioral patterns willingly by focusing on discovering strengths and potential.

The WTN programme provides an opportunity to participate in a powerful learning experience designed to facilitate change while offering a platform of support and assistance through which participants ultimately discover their full potential.

To date (2024), WTN has successfully undertaken 80 hikes with 640 participants, over 16 years, and impacted the lives of at least 40 youths per annum.
