Botswana Chapter

WE, The World Botswana Chapter shall establish human and community development programs in line to support, promote the Sustainable Development Goals under the 11 themes of WE, The World.

“WE” will establish partnerships and collaborations with the other Civil Society organizations in Botswana to maximize and amplify social change through unity.

One of our core objectives is to promote an understanding of how environmental, social, cultural, economic and political factors impact the world, demonstrate an understanding of other people’s cultural values, beliefs and perceptions which differ from others and raise consciousness from individuality to a collaborated and collective effort. In addition to our inclusive objectives, the organization may organize campaigns and events exclusively for charitable, human development and educational purposes, more specifically to maximize social change on a global scale that works for all. In order to deliver this impact successfully, we align our organizational processes, selected thematic areas and working methods to the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda.

PROGRAMS

“Unleashing the African Potential” created by WE, The World’s Botswana Branch, is a human development and community development project in a small village in the Kweneng district of Botswana. The village is called Mmopane, situated 15kms from Gaborone. The project encompasses social and economic empowerment programs along with environmental stewardship through storytelling, awareness campaigns and educational workshops such as financial literacy and entrepreneurial skills for children, youth, women, and men.

The program will also offer the beneficiaries the opportunity to do practical of the skills learnt through a structured market hub i.e., those interested in farming will have their fresh produce garden while those interested in jewelry making and weaving will have their ‘arts & crafts’ corner.

The target is to offer a holistic and wholesome approach for the family household, “leaving no one behind” and nurturing their skills, dreams, and desires to uplift and empower the community. The project is aimed at curbing the current social ills that the leadership is concerned about, which are generational cycles of poverty, substance abuse, violence, and dependence on the government’s poverty eradication schemes.

The project will make a positive impact as our approach offers support to all members of the community by offering tailored programs for each group, i.e., offering exclusive mental health workshops or financial literacy for men, facilitated by men or psycho-social talk groups for women/survivors of abuse, facilitated by female health workers. This is aimed at encouraging building trust, heightening intimacy to encourage an open and free mind to full participation.
