The new body known as the Forum for the Associations of East African Communities in Botswana (FAEACB) incorporates the Kenya Friendship Association (KEFA), Association of Tanzanians in Botswana (ATB) and Association of Ugandans in Botswana (AUB). Maurice Nyamunga (Kenya), Bonaventure Mtei (Tanzania) and Sebastian Okello-Wengi (Uganda) signed the MoU at the Crystal Palace Hotel in Gaborone, accompanied by welfare officials from the three countries.
The forum is meant to promote the socio-economic interest and cultural heritage of East Africans living in Botswana. It intends to strengthen social support among the three East African communities in Botswana. The mission of the forum is to promote an environment of harmony, trust and friendship, by fostering solidarity and socio-economic and cultural cooperation among East Africans living in Botswana. The vision of FAEACB is to symbolise the patriotism, positive cultural image and quality life that is aspired by East African citizens living in Botswana.
