Christian Women Unite To Help The Needy :: Mmegi Online

BOROLONG: They may be from different denominations, but Christian women in Borolong have found a common ground in helping the needy in the village. Going by the name Bo-Mme Ba Thapelo Association (BBTA), the women have been playing Mother Theresa to less privileged members of the Borolong community since 2000.

Their mandate, which they adhere to with Christian zeal is to make a contribution towards the development of the village. Though formed in 2000, BBTA was registered in 2008. It is made up of women from Hermon Church, St Paul Apostolic Church, St Acts Apostolic Mission Church, African Born (AB) Full Gospel Church, United Congregational Church of Southern Africa (UCCSA), St Charles Lwanga Church and the Makobo-based Jehofa Moipatedi Church. BTTA secretary, Nchadi Moses said that they are also working with Borolong Home Based Care.

“Every first week of the month, we meet on a rotational basis among our churches and contribute P130 from each church. That money will be given to a church that we have visited. We also do raffles, entertainment games to raise money for the hosting church,” she explained.
