Okalumbwena village is a village found at Oshikoto region in Onyaanya constituency. The rainfall range from 350-400mm per year. The village has got approximately 80 residents and falls under the readership of Mr. Henock Kankoshi a new councilor, after his predecessor Mr. Vilho Kamanya, the first governor of Oshikoto region. Okalumbwena had a significant history of the liberation struggle of Namibia of which many people were brutally killed, burned to death, hanged, abused, and tortured and some lost their livestock and house were burned down. People living near by the camp were forced to join the army of South Africa and that led many of them into exile. During that time the war was so intensive and people were prohibited to walk at night. After independence the Republic of Namibia decided to turn Okalumbwena into a green scheme project through the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Forestry. Various projects were introduced to reduce poverty and the residents of Okalumbwena were given different training as most of them are subsistence farms depending on farming only. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Martin_angula_200907506/Okalumbwena
