Mission Statement:
The WCCC works to create a safer and more inclusive
society where children/ youth are able to employ sport and
community processes as a means to reduce violence,
intolerance, diseases and other anti-social behaviors
(ASBs). The organization works to enhance the correctional
capacities of prisons in Botswana and foster smooth reintegration of ex-convicts into the general society.
Vision:
WCCC envisages a society where every child and young
person in the community has the opportunity to realize selfactualization. The WCCC works to create an environment
where every child has hope and opportunity.
AREAS OF COVERAGE

WCCC covers Botswana and the surrounding
SADC areas.
CENTRE LOCATION

The Centre is strategically located in
Tlokweng village, with two offices in the
building, used as administration office,
counseling room and a store.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

This is an area where many people are highly
vulnerable due to drug abuse, suicide, murder and
rape. The area of coverage has high population,
who we expect to have reached out to by the year
2016.
Statement of the problem cont’d


Drug abuse is rampant among the youth, who are mostly
uneducated high rate of school drop-out as a result. After
usage of drugs, the youth engage in careless behaviors
such as unsafe sex. These practices end up in infections
with STI’s and unwanted pregnancies. The end result is
the male youth running away from responsibilities, leaving
the girls with the burden of having to bring up the children
on their own or at times with the little help of their other
family members.
These young girls, having no income end up abandoning
the growing up kids, who eventually become street
children. Some of these mothers end up contracting HIV
and so eventually loose their lives to the virus, leaving
their children as orphans. This is where we come in handy
to cater for these orphans.
