What comes in your mind, when you hear about the Moringa tree? Some people call it the all-multi-purpose tree, some call it the “miracle tree” and for others just another simple existing tree on mother earth. According to Wikipedia, Moringa oleifera is a fast –growing, drought resistant tree of the family Moringaceae. Common names include Moringa, drumstick tree ( from the long , slender, triangular seed-pods), horseradish tree ( from the taste of the roots, which resembles horseradish), and ben oil tree or benzolive tree ( from the oil which is derived from the seeds).It is widely cultivated for its young seed pods and leaves used as vegetables and for traditional herbal medicine. It is also used for water purification.
While many people consider the Moringa Tree, as just another simple existing plant, Leena Sindano, founder of Chizango Trading Cc have a complete different perspective on it. Leena Sindano is a Graduate of MA economics from the University of Pune in India (2012), she is also one of the few selected recipient for the Alumni of Young African Leadership Programme (YALI).

This is when the spark of the Moringa Project Commenced. The founder was inspired by her parents to start business when she was unemployed and at that time the super-crop known as Moringa ‘the miracle tree,’ was a well know supplement in Rundu Town, because of its health benefit that improves the health and wellness of the people. It is mostly found in the northern part of Namibia. The project got motivated more by producing various products from the tree making it available nationwide including where the tree is not found, as well as present it with more products.
