Africa's Best-Kept Secret
Namibia is known as one of the youngest nations globally – obtaining its independence from South Africa in 1990. Described as one of the cleanest cities worldwide and influenced by numerous cultures, Namibia was an underrated country… until now.
Namibia's economy depends on four cornerstones, specifically mining - contributing 3 billion USD to the diamond industry alone!
Almod Namibia Ltd.'s Impact
Diamonds International not only created jobs, but also helped support other businesses such as transportation, catering, and banks, which allowed social classes to develop economically and academically.
Some would even consider that DI put Namibia on the map by promoting the "Shining Diamond of Africa", the Crown of Light, throughout its other stores located in over 20 countries. This and other factors, including passion and dedication, helped double the tourism business in Namibia.
What's to Come
Aside from the successful business contribution, DI has proven to deliver continuous support to Baby Haven, a local orphanage. "In this world, it's not just about taking, it's about giving back" Albert Gad, CEO & President. In fact, DI's family-oriented environment was so evident that the Namibian government requested to open a local store, while offering the COL, known as the Namibian Star, with hopes of further growing the industry and economy overall.
As said by Albert Gad, DI is "One big International family" and with that they have welcomed the Namibian community with open arms. Namibia's beauty, uniqueness, and lavish culture ultimately engaged the diamond brand's success to another level, simultaneously benefitting the country.
