Mothers for All continues to demonstrate that the best way to uplift the lives of children is to support their caregivers, a fact consistently supported by research all over the world.  This is because the immediate beneficiaries of any intervention with mothers or caregivers - be it education, skills training or financial support - are the children under their care.  Oratile, a teenage orphan who is living with her grandmother, watched from the sidelines as her grandmother made her first tentative paper beads as one of our first Mothers for All members.

Oratile went on to proudly model the group's first jewellery products and has since become a skilled bead maker herself. Now if she needs money for school projects or outings, she makes beads. Recently, she took the bus to Gaborone in order to visit several retail outlets as the Mothers for All sales representative. This was so successful she is regularly employed to to this and has become one of our best ambassadors. Here she is modelling some of her grandmother's jewellery.
