Community organisations get US grants

Speaking before the signing of the latest grant documents, the American Ambassador to Botswana, Michelle Gavin, said as one of Botswana's development partners, America has provided more than a billion pula in assistance as Botswana made its remarkable journey in the development path.

"Most of that assistance was targeting the health sector and much of it in the form of very large scale projects worth hundreds of millions of pula," she said. Under Botswana Christian Aid Intervention Programme Gumare Counselling Centre was given P129,621.10 for a project called Okavango Youth Development - the Road to a Brighter Tomorrow in Gumare.
