Y Care donates P365K to community organisations

The donations, announced during a ceremony held in Gaborone on Tuesday, will support initiatives in education, mental health, healthcare, youth development, gender-based violence prevention, and community development. Addressing stakeholders, beneficiaries, and partners, Y Care said the latest donations reaffirm the trust's long-standing commitment to improving the lives of vulnerable communities whilst promoting healthy lifestyles through fundraising walks.

Founded on the vision of Dr Nomsa Mbere, Y Care has spent the past 23 years organising fundraising events that have become fixtures on Botswana's charity calendar. These include the Makgadikgadi Walks, Tsodilo Hills Walk, Tswapong Hills Walk, and Tuli Block Walk, attracting thousands of participants from across the country. Over the years, proceeds from these events have funded projects supporting education, healthcare, mental health services, environmental conservation, and community development.
