- Describe in detail what your Organisation does:
Botshabelo is Tswana meaning “Place to Run to”. With the help of members of Urban Life Church the needs of the local community and the call to be a place of refuge for those hurting in our city had been answered in 2000. Starting out as a Non-Profit Organisation with a few visionaries, Botshabelo grew into a successful organisation going into its 18th year of existence.
Botshabelo’s focus and passion is to transform children’s lives through excellent education and residential care. Our vision is to impact the lives of children that need it most. We want to set children up with the best start in life. Throughout the years, three main projects have been developed:
• Babies Home: care for orphaned and abandoned babies
• Urban Kids Educentre: education of pre-schoolers from disadvantaged and emerging families
• UpliftED Teacher Training: empowering of pre-school staff (teachers and principals) in impoverished settings
