Young Africa Botswana (YAB), together with the United States of America Embassy and the British High Commission, have joined hands to carry out a project titled “INFORMING AND PROTECTING THE COMMUNITY AGAINST COVID-19”.
YAB’s latest activity in the two-phased project has been painting local tuck-shops to create murals that animate COVID-19 regulations, at the same time flamboyantly adorning the small businesses.
Resident artist at YAB and the project coordinator Gorata Priscilla Mokgosi said the overall project is split into two. The first part of the project was conducted last year when Botswana National Service Program (BNSP) volunteers were trained to sew masks. The basic sewing and entrepreneurship program saw 100 BNSP participants make 9000 masks that will be distributed to the communities in need.
