​Since 2012, the Bokgoni Sporting Club in Francistown, Botswana — a Mennonite Mission Network partner — has offered young people a healthy alternative to spending their free time on the streets.

Bokgoni Sporting Club focuses on working with at-risk youth and young adults in Francistown to provide opportunities for healthy interaction and life-skills building. Partnership associates Lyenor and Sazini Nkosi relate to the club in their work as liaisons to several Botswanan ministries as well as co-pastoring in Francistown.

“Our programs are designed to instill the members with the self-confidence to become leaders in their communities, homes and workplaces,” said Mothusi Kenosi, Bokgoni Sporting Club’s director.

Mennonite Mission Network has partnered with this ministry by providing personnel and grants.
