Motswana to receive award from Queen Elizabeth

The Queen’s Young Leaders Awards recognise and celebrate exceptional young people aged 18 to 29 in the Commonwealth who are driving change within their communities and transforming people’s lives. Now in its third and penultimate year, the 60 young people that have been announced become part of the growing Queen’s Young Leaders community, a unique network of influential young change-makers who are coming together and being supported to become an even greater force for good. They will receive their Award from Her Majesty The Queen at a ceremony in London next year.

This year, Award winners are leading projects tackling global issues including education, climate change, gender equality, mental health and disability equality. Lobatse, a 24 year old from Serowe, has been chosen in recognition of her commitment to helping those living with cancer and disabilities.
