KEETMANSHOOP – In an opportunity starved community like Keetmanshoop, Hekta’s Fashion is providing hope by training unemployed youth in school and corporate wear, dressmaking, garment construction and design.

Local youth have welcomed the initiative with open arms. Hekta’s Fashion rotates its intake of trainees every three months, allowing interested youth to take part in the programme.
