🎥 Episode 1: Behind The Scenes Fun! 🎥 We had an absolute blast recording the first episode of SECHABA: Are You Listening? 🤩🎙 Here's a sneak peek of all the fun and excitement that went on behind the scenes! 😄✨ 💬 Quote from the Episode: "To actually support civil society is a priority of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and it's very important to cooperate with them because they're the ones that are close to the field, the ground, to people's realities. So it's something we very strongly value, and particularly to tackle issues like GBV and women's socio economic empowerment, you have to know really what's happening and that's where their actions are so valuable." 💬 🌟 Episode 01: "Introductions" 🌟 📅 Dropping on Wednesday, 10 July 2024 at 10 AM 👩🏽‍🦱 Featuring Special Guest: Soukeyna Fall from the Embassy of France in Botswana 🇫🇷 Don't forget to tune in and join us for some incredible conversations and insights. 🎧✨ Big thanks to The French Embassy in Botswana for their amazing support!

We proudly celebrate Dadirai Mushayandebvu, an AWE participant and guest on our Mebala Business TV show at YTV.

As the founder of Skweeker Solutions, a social-geo security app, she aims to enhance Botswana’s security sector with innovative technology.

During the Mebala event, Dadirai approached Lloyd Kusano, COO of Standard Chartered Bank Botswana, to be her mentor, and he agreed. This mentorship led to her nomination for the Forbes Africa 30 event, where she participated in the pitch battle featuring businesses from all walks of Africa and secured an investor who pledged $5,000 to her business.

Her dedication earned her a spot among the top three at the Forbes Under 30 Summit Africa Pitch Battle. Congratulations, Dadirai! Your journey is inspiring✨🥳

🌍🌿 Happy World Environment Day! 🌿🌍

At Mebala, we're passionate about creating a sustainable future through innovative projects that embrace the beauty and functionality of recyclable materials.

Here's a glimpse:

Photo 1: Solar-Powered Roof: We installed solar panels on our roof to use the sun's energy. This helps us use less electricity and reduce our carbon footprint.

Photo 2: Green Kgotla: Our Green Kgotla is made from bottles and tyres. It's a great example of how we can reuse materials to create something useful and eco-friendly.

Photos 3 & 4: Recycled Classrooms: Our complex of classrooms is made from recycled materials. One of the highlights is a cracked window we repaired with a mosaic of colorful broken glass, creating beautiful patterns and a unique look.

Every step we take helps the planet. Let's keep finding ways to recycle and protect our environment.
