Botswana�s poorest village cries out

Between Keng and Khakhea villages along the Tsabong road, a turn to the right and a seven-kilometre gravel road will take you to Kutuku, officially the country’s poorest settlement or village.

According to the 2015 study, of the 166 residents in the settlement, at least 100 were classified as poor or earning less than P1,332 per month. Basic needs such as food, clothing, personal hygiene, services, shelter and others were beyond the reach of these residents, according to the Statistics Botswana study.
