The Namibia Islamic Halaal Association was founded and registered as a non-profitable organisation in 2001 under the Companies Act (Act no. 61 of 1973) and incorporated under section 21 of the act at the Ministry of Trade and Industry in the capital city of Republic of Namibia, Windhoek. This association represents the Muslims in and beyond our borders where the consumption of Halaal (lawful/permissible) foods, nutrition, drinks and related consumables are involved. NIHA is a World Halal Council registered organisation. This association consists of quite a few expertises that have more than twenty years of first hand experience in the field of Halaal products. The association is equipped with Islamic Knowledge and education. We always consult our own local Namibian and International Islamic Theological advisors. Members of this association have gone through several trainings that compliment the Halaal system implementation. Trainings such as Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP), South African Bureau International Standardisation Organisation (ISO) and Animal Welfare as preferred by the European Food Safety Inspection Services-group that inspects, audits, supply and provide the McDonald-Group Internationally.
