Our Mission
We’re committed to making the world a better place by giving back to the communities that unearth our diamonds and by leading the change towards a conflict-free diamond industry.
Creating jobs
Namibia’s economy was weakened and unstable from the diamond industry. Even though rough diamonds were one of their main exports, Namibia’s rough diamonds sold for far less than the cut and polished versions did in Europe. CaratNile decided to turn this around by creating more jobs in Namibia. In 2008, CaratNile built a factory in Windhoek, the nation’s capital, to sort and cut diamonds. This factory has provided better-paying jobs for the community and has strengthened its economy.
Giving back
In addition to creating more jobs for communities in Namibia, Julius Klein Group has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to various human rights groups, including an orphanage that houses over 30 children. JKG is also dedicated to furthering the education of children by donating thousands of dollars to Namibian primary schools.
Supporting the arts
CaratNile cares deeply for the environment and ethically sourcing materials. We award students with a scholarship that have demonstrated outstanding innovation and environmental sustainability in their craft. Today’s brilliant minds are shaping our future.
