Women have always belonged in the Okavango! As polers, they’re claiming that space with power—keeping culture alive, and defending the Okavango River Basin's biodiversity. Poling—navigating mokoro canoes through these rich wetlands—has long been a cultural tradition. Today, more and more women are stepping into this role, a practice once dominated by men. It’s not just a job or a hobby. It’s a way of life, a link to culture, and a lifeline for communities. Show your support and head to the link
