In Northern Botswana, we partner with Bana Ba Letsatsi, a remarkable center founded in 2002 that has become a lifeline for over 250 vulnerable, at-risk, and orphaned children and youth in Maun. Many of these children have never attended school or dropped out early, while others face physical and sexual abuse, substance abuse, underage labor, and lack of parental care.

Bana Ba Letsatsi provides a safe haven where children receive education, counseling, food, medical attention, and skills training. The center also addresses basic needs often taken for granted—clothing, shoes, showers, and haircuts—that restore dignity alongside hope.
