Africa-Press – Botswana. Healthy Families Foundation is conducting a community wide campaign in Gabane.
The campaign, which started yesterday ending March 30, is aimed at equipping families with survival skills.
Healthy Families Foundation’s Trustee Ms Ashley Thaba, said the campaign was meant to mobilise and unite residents in an effort to fight challenges like gender based violence in order to promote a healthy environment in a family setup.
Ms Thaba explained said this would be their sixth campaign, having started with a nationwide campaign through Btv show dubbed Talking with the Thabas.
Having seen the impact of the Mahalapye family campaign which was sponsored by the Ministry of Defence and Justice and Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development, MP for Gabane-Mmakgodi Mr Kagiso Mmusi invited the foundation to his constituency.
Ms Thaba said that the strategy of the campaign ‘is a train the trainees’ ideology’ and each day police officers, prison officers, teachers, pastors, VDC, Dikgosi, BDF, the Youth were expected to send representatives to facilitate the sessions.
She said they anticipated about 300-400 attendees coming in daily and the representatives are then expected to go out to teach a small group of 10 to 20 people.
“If the mobilisation is done very well, hopefully we will have reached around 3 000 to 8 000 people by the end of the 12 days of teaching,” she said.
A different topic will be taught each day and these covers, unmet expectations in relationships, communication, preparing for marriage, his/her needs, love languages, GBV, substance abuse and others.
FNBB is the primary sponsor for the Gabane-Mmankgodi Constituency campaign alongside the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development and Debswana.
