The current health crisis in Botswana has created an overwhelming burden of care on already stressed extended family networks. Kgothatso Orphan Care Programme aims to relieve some of that stress for families in Gabane Village by providing pre-school care for orphaned and vulnerable children. The pre-school currently supports 20 village children with daily meals, educational activities and recreation. Kgothatso’s services respect the importance of maintaining the community’s social fabric by enabling extended families to provide for orphaned children adopted into their homes. With increased funding, Kgothatso hopes to expand services and to broaden its reach to additional vulnerable families in the community.
