Miss Charity Botswana finalists unveiled

“Our ladies, aged between 20 and 30 years, have being taught women empowerment. We expect them to share what they have been taught with other women out there. If every woman would empower the next woman with the little knowledge, this country and the world at large, will be a better place for everyone. This will inspire young women to work hard and be self reliant,” the pageantry director Rentse Maganu-Ugokwe told Arts & Culture in an interview.

She added that the contestants are expected to be ambassadors of their communities, where they would be able to take care of the less privileged members of their societies. The organisers plan to host a high tea event and call in different motivational speakers to inspire and empower the finalists with life and entrepreneurship skills.  Maganu-Ugokwe stated that the ladies would visit Kotolaname Primary School with the aim to motivate the teachers who are working under depressing conditions. She explained that the school had previously highlighted that they wanted more uniforms, a vegetable garden and to paint the school.
