📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

There is also a SOS centre based in Serowe, which is the home of the first, third and current president of the Republic of Botswana. Serowe is 300 km northeast of capital city of Gaborone. SOS Centre is a home to close to three hundred kids affected by different social ills. These include being homeless after being dumped by their mothers mainly immediately after birth and chased away from home due to in fights in some households. Some of the kids fell to lack of guardianship due to imprisonment of mothers and whilst, some kids escaped the hardships of staying in very poor households living under a dollar daily.

🤝 Meeting point

Please volunteers would also need to budget for transport from their arrival point to the orientation and from the orientation to work camp site across Botswana. Please note BWA has no minibus or vehicle to ferry volunteers around and such, source such transport at a fee. Thus BWA request that volunteers cater for the transport fees from the Gaborone airport or bus terminal to Mochudi, BWA Head offices, where the orientation is held. The transport fee is US $25 per volunteer. Secondly, volunteers must pay for their return transport from orientation to the workcamp site..that should range from as little as US$ 20 to US$30 depending on the closeness and furthest from BWA offices.
