Hope springs for Ngamiland’s most vulnerable children

The last study on poverty at the district level in the country found that Ngamiland East and West had poverty incidences ranging between 21% and 33%, meaning between one in five and one in three people in the two areas respectively were classified as poor.

Earlier this year, a pioneering report by Statistics Botswana and UNICEF found that children in the tourism heartland in the North West were amongst the poorest in the country with inadequate access to nutrition, health, housing and education.
