Wilderness Therapy Namibia

Wilderness Therapy Namibia Wilderness Therapy Namibia (WTN) is a non-Government, non-profit, Faith-based welfare organisation. that are willing to invest in the Youth of Namibia.

WTN’s mandate is to provide therapy to youth-at-risk, in an effort to de-traumatize and guide them to become contributing citizens of Namibia. Our story started in August 2007 with a trail-run, when we took the first steps on a road to combine adventure - nature- purpose- responsibility and personal growth as an alternative to traditional counselling/therapy, which normally happens in an office be

hind a desk. Wilderness Therapy is internationally used and a very appropriate method to reach Youth. Focusing on the Youth, almost adults, meant we had to look for elements that could address self-knowledge, strengths, values, changed behaviour, teamwork, choices, and connecting to God. When physically challenged with hiking in the wilderness for 120 km over 8 days, you only have yourself your team mates and leaders to count on - you are confronted with a new perspective on where you fit in the bigger cosmos. This experience developed into a formal WTN program of the Church Benevolance Board, Windhoek (Kerklike Maatskaplike Raad Windhoek) in 2008. As the CBB’s structure changed, WTN is now an independent programme with the WTN Board as the employer and now affiliated to EcSoS (W O 8). Our program also incorporate a mentoring element and runs over a period of ±18 months, which includes weekly life skills sessions, community projects/service and other educational/learning activities and experiences. Today WTN is known as a positive youth/community development programme with the focus on the empowerment of our youth. Young people need support for their successful transition into adulthood. WTN is a non-profit organisation who depends on donations from private people, churches, and businesses etc. Learners are referred to us by their schools. Schools that presently participate in the WTN programme are grade 11 and 12’s from Augustineum Secondary School and Ella du Plessis Secondary School, Windhoek, Rehoboth High School, Rehoboth and Suiderlig Secondary School, Keetmanshoop all schools from the Ministry of Education. Wilderness Therapy Namibia: an experience that inspires hope and a renewed purpose.

Today we pause to honour the incredible community that stood behind us — because we truly didn’t ride this race alone. 💛

To our jersey sponsors, business partners, logistics helpers, prayer supporters, and every person who said “How can we help?” — thank you. Your generosity, encouragement, and partnership carried this campaign forward in ways seen and unseen.

Every logo on our jerseys told a story of someone who believes in the restoration of young people. Every message of support reminded us that this mission is shared.
We are deeply grateful to God for placing such faithful partners around Wilderness Therapy Namibia. You helped make Ride 2 Restore possible.

Every kilometer told a story — not just of the race, but of the youth we walk with.

Behind the scenes of the Dash, one thing stood out above everything else: our incredible team.
Twelve riders, three teams… yet one heart.

From forming a peloton to shield each other from the wind, to encouraging a teammate through cramps, to laughing together at every water point — the unity and camaraderie carried us just as much as our legs did.

We’re grateful to God for the strength, safety, and joy that marked this journey, and for a team that truly reflects the spirit of what Wilderness Therapy Namibia stands for: resilience, support, and hope — together.

If you’d like to make a last minute donation, our link will be running until Friday.

We are so grateful — to our supporters, and to the incredible Ride 2 Restore team!

This weekend, our 12 riders completed the grueling 401km Desert Dash. One of the most powerful moments was seeing the team form a peloton in the final stage, shielding each other from the wind.

When they reached Swakopmund, they arrived as such a united group that they were escorted by a police car, and crossed the finish line together.

We thank the Lord for safety, strength, and unity throughout the race.�And we thank you for every prayer, donation, and word of encouragement.

Just as our riders supported one another, we continue to walk with young people as they discover hope, belonging, and resilience in God’s creation.
