The United States (US) Embassy in Botswana today launches projects aimed at improving the livelihoods of women and increasing educational opportunities for children in the Okavango Delta region.

According to the Embassy’s Information Specialist, Laona Segaetsho, the Embassy will inject P700,000 towards the projects. Part of the money is expected to be donated to Children in the Wilderness (CITW). Segaetsho told media that the money will be used so support environmental education programmes in 10 villages across the Okavango region.

“These programmes will reach 500 children who attend regular eco-clubs and enable youth to participate in trips to environmentally important areas in the region. The programme also provides pedagogical training and mentoring to teachers, and produces environmental education material,” she stated.
