Botswana Council of Churches

Botswana Council of Churches is a longstanding partner of Global Ministries. It was founded in 1966 and has 35 member churches and Christian organizations, constituting most of the Botswana churches. It is a non-profit membership organization committed to equality, justice, and peace. Although the Council started as a purely theological entity with few members, it has since broadened its scope, and membership has risen and continues to grow across the country. Its portfolio of programs includes political education, information, youth work, children, refugee work, and other issues relevant to women’s status.

Due to its prominent role in issues concerning the poor and other disadvantaged groups in Botswana since 1966, BCC has, in practice, been used informally by many other NGOs, both national and international, to seek information and help during disasters. It consistently receives requests from the public in general to assist with various aspects of need.
