Bana Ba Letsatsi (Children of the Sun / We are Sunshine Children)'s mission is to empower vulnerable children and youth to reach their full potential, by creating a safe and compassionate environment, with support and access to education.
Bana Ba Letsatsi Trust was established in 2002 to respond to the growing number of children at risk in Maun and officially registered as a trust in April 2004. The organisation endeavours to keep orphaned and vulnerable children off the streets and away from negative influences such as glue sniffing and petty crime. Bana Ba Letsatsi Trust is a rehabilitation centre where discipline, education, counselling, sports, hygiene, and meals are provided to a selected number of orphans vulnerable children and youth.
All activities designed and executed at Bana Ba Letsatsi Trust have the ultimate goal to support, encourage, rehabilitate, and empower all children and youth to remain in school or return to mainstream schools, establish a drug and crime free life, and become productive members of society. The Trust encourages positive action from the caregivers of all children and the establishment of community support for those children at risk in their society.
