Humans of Windhoek was started in November 2014 by Joash Perera and his friend Gary van Wyk.
“I started it to encourage a mate who was going through depression. I saw how the Humans of New York stories were encouraging and inspiring people who wanted to give up on life,” says Joash. Assisted by a few other friends who transcribe some of the interviews and also contribute stories, the team believe
s that the main focus should not be on them, but on the people who really matter – the inhabitants of the city whose stories need to be told and shared. With over 5,000 likes on Facebook, the Humans of Windhoek page is a true testimony to the quote “don't judge a book by its cover.”
“ and that's why we rather focus on them and that they have a platform like the Humans of Windhoek page to highlight their plight in life.”
