🌱🥬 Growing Today, Feeding Tomorrow!

Learners from Botswelelo Primary School are proudly showcasing their spinach harvest from their hydroponic garden! 🌿 The best part? They took their fresh harvest home for consumption, turning their hard work into a nutritious meal.

Through hydroponics, children learn that crops can be grown in different ways, even without traditional soil-based farming. These hands-on experiences nurture self-reliance, environmental awareness, and practical skills that they can use throughout their lives.

At Junior Rangers, we believe that when children learn by doing, they grow more than plants — they grow knowledge, confidence, and a foundation for a more sustainable future. 💚🌍

🌿🤝 A Big Thank You to Rotary Okavango! 🤝🌿

On Saturday, 10 October 2026, the Okavango Rotary Club donated 11 sleeping bags to our Junior Rangers Club! 💚

These sleeping bags will keep our Junior Rangers warm and comfortable during the upcoming Junior Ranger Camps in December 🏕️✨.

We are so grateful for this kind gesture and we look forward to more collaborations and partnerships with Okavango Rotary to empower our young conservation champions!

A special thank you to the club members from Andrew Wellio Primary School who received the donation on behalf of all Junior Rangers across Maun. 🙏

Junior Ranger has embarked on a 9-day Community Workshop Series, taking environmental education and practical skills into communities across Maun through a series of Kgotla workshops.

Yesterday, we were at Boyei Kgotla for a community learning session focused on Waste Management and Enterprise Development.

The workshop explored the importance of responsible waste management while encouraging participants to look at waste differently — not simply as something to throw away, but as a resource that can be reused, repurposed and transformed into useful products and potential livelihood opportunities.

Through discussions and practical sharing, participants explored the 3Rs — Reduce, Reuse and Recycle — and reflected on how better waste management can contribute to cleaner communities and create opportunities for enterprise.

It was also a day of learning, connection and recognition. Participants were catered for during the workshop and received Certificates of Attendance in recognition of their participation in the session.

We sincerely appreciate the Boyei community for coming together, sharing their experiences and actively engaging in the conversation around sustainable waste management.

Our journey continues as Junior Ranger takes this workshop series to communities across Maun.

Together, we can learn, create and turn environmental challenges into opportunities.

The Gardening Initiative enables us to purchase vegetables from student gardens at P10 per bundle.

Proceeds are deposited into the learners’ savings to promote financial responsibility.

In addition, the harvested spinach will be prepared and served during the upcoming Kgotla Empowerment Workshop Series.

Beyond agriculture, this program instills responsibility, self-reliance, and community engagement in our youth.

Our Junior Rangers aren’t just learning about trees, wildlife and water. They’re also learning that they can become the scientists, rangers, educators and leaders who protect it all.

Thank you Larona for sharing your insights and inspiring other young people to dream big for nature 💚

Turning Waste into Ideas 🌱♻️

Term 3 is all about connecting learning with creativity and action!

As part of our Aflatoun and Junior Ranger programmes, learners at Moeti JSS are brainstorming ideas for eco-friendly products they can create using waste materials. Through this activity, learners are combining Aflatoun’s entrepreneurship and financial literacy lessons with Junior Ranger’s environmental stewardship lessons.

These young innovators are preparing their ideas ahead of the Re Jala Peo Environmental Awareness Conference in November, where they will have the opportunity to showcase what they have created. 🌍💡

From waste to useful products — we are nurturing young minds to see possibilities in what others may consider waste.

🌱From Garden to Table! 🥬

What a wonderful achievement by the children of Thitoyamokodi Primary School! 💚

The learners have successfully harvested fresh spinach from their school garden — a beautiful example of how learning by doing can turn environmental education into something meaningful and practical.

Through gardening, one of Junior Ranger’s sustainability initiatives, children are learning to:
🌱 Grow their own food
💧 Appreciate and conserve natural resources
♻️ Understand sustainable practices
🤝 Work together and take responsibility
💡 Develop skills that can empower them beyond the classroom

This harvest is more than just spinach — it is a harvest of knowledge, skills, responsibility and hope for a more sustainable future. 🌍💚

Well done, Thitoyamokodi Primary School! Keep growing, learning and inspiring! 👏🏽🥬

🌱 Planting Seeds for a Brighter Future in the Okavango Panhandle! 🐘

Every child deserves the chance to discover their potential and become a steward of their environment. That’s why we are thrilled to announce the expansion of our Aflatoun and Junior Ranger programs to Etsha 13 and Jao Village Primary Schools!

Thanks to an incredible partnership with Okwa Foundation, 11 dedicated teachers (alongside Okwa Sarefo) completed intensive training to empower nearly 300 new learners every single week.

Starting now, every Wednesday afternoon, these children will build vital life skills, financial literacy, and a deep passion for Botswana’s wildlife and conservation.

Together, we’re not just launching a project—we’re building lasting community ownership. Welcome to the Junior Ranger family, Etsha 13 & Jao Village! 💚✨
