Karasburg is a small, unassuming desert town in Namibia with 4000 residents. Vicky Noble, an EMIT leader, started several projects to change the socio-economic circumstances of this small town. Together with a team of fellow EMIT leaders from her small group, they researched what they should address first. Among the projects they started were building projects, a day care centre for working mothers, a community vegetable garden, a manicure service, and a clothing-making program.
