Botswana Country Fund

A Peace Corps Volunteer and a health worker talk while sitting across from each other at a table.

Description

Contributions to the Botswana Country Fund support sustainable, community-driven Peace Corps Partnership Program projects in Botswana that are co-facilitated by Peace Corps Volunteers and their Counterparts. These projects support reducing transmission of HIV and minimizing the impact of HIV and AIDS on individuals and communities, as well as youth development interventions such as life skills.

Volunteers placed in schools, health facilities, social welfare offices and non-governmental organizations build the transferable skills of their communities to meet the challenges of HIV/AIDS, intimate-partner violence and poverty. Specific interventions are aimed at strengthening systems and health service delivery, such as supply chain management and youth friendly health services, organizational development and prevention of HIV/AIDS and intimate-partner violence through programs that include DREAMS, Grassroot Soccer, Lifeskills+, Empowerment and Livelihoods for Adolescents, Girls/Guys Leading our World camps and clubs, and SASA!
