About Bana Ba Letsatsi
Living Conditions
In the ever expanding small town of Maun, Botswana, where employment opportunities are too few to support all the families, many children are abandoned due to parental alcoholism and drug abuse.
They find themselves subjected to living on the streets without education and the likelihood of being caught in drug and alcohol abuse themselves.
