Botswana

The results we’d like to see

We want to:

Equip around 2,000 young people with the psychosocial and interpersonal skills they need such as communication, negotiation and decision-making skills
Equip these young people with practical and technical skills such as business-management, financial-literacy and vocational skills
Teach them about HIV and AIDS prevention, helping them to make informed decisions, communicate effectively and lead healthy and productive lives
Closely mentor 500 of those 2,000 young people as they enter the world of work, through an ongoing structured internship/apprenticeship programme
