BOFWA offers youth-focused programmes that promote health, safety, and empowerment. These include a 24-Hour Helpline (16658), GBV prevention through the Petals Project, Dual Protection education, out-of-school sexuality education, economic empowerment, and mobile health services via the mHealth platform.

24 Hour Youth Helpline (Toll Free ) 16658

The 24-Hour Toll-Free Helpline is one of BOFWA’s most impactful interventions, designed to address the pressing need for accessible, confidential, and non-judgmental support for young people and vulnerable individuals across Botswana.

The Petals Project

The Petals Project is a transformative initiative aimed at addressing the pervasive issue of Gender- Based Violence (GBV) through a multifaceted approach that combines education, advocacy, and support.

Dual Protection

In Botswana, high rates of unplanned pregnancies and HIV/STI transmission remain significant public health concerns.

Comprehensive Sexuality Education

In Botswana, many young people outside the traditional school system lack access to formal SRH education, leaving them vulnerable to health risks such as unplanned pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and Gender-Based Violence (GBV).

Economic Strengthening

Recognizing the strong link between economic empowerment and improved health and social outcomes, BOFWA’s Economic Strengthening Program equips young people with the skills, resources, and opportunities needed to achieve financial independence.

mHealth

The M-Health Program is an innovative initiative designed to bridge gaps in healthcare access using mobile technology.
