Ghanzi Youth Centre Revamped Through Strategic Partnership with Diacore Gaborone Marathon

Ghanzi Youth Centre Revamped Through Strategic Partnership with Diacore Gaborone Marathon. The Ghanzi Youth Centre has received a major boost through a new strategic partnership between the Ministry of Youth and Gender Affairs and the Diacore Gaborone Marathon. The collaboration has led to the full refurbishment of the facility, marking a renewed chapter for youth empowerment in the region.

Unveiled as part of a broader national effort, the project sets the tone for similar upgrades planned for Youth Centres across Botswana. Ghanzi, as the pilot location, has become the first to benefit from this revitalisation initiative—ushering in a model for community-led development aimed at equipping young people with better access to resources, mentorship, and opportunities.

According to officials, the refurbishment goes beyond aesthetic upgrades. The centre is now positioned to offer improved programming, creative spaces, and a more inclusive environment where youth from various backgrounds can come together to collaborate and thrive.

The Ministry highlighted that such partnerships demonstrate the importance of aligning private sector engagement with government efforts to address pressing community needs. The Diacore Gaborone Marathon’s involvement represents a meaningful step toward corporate social responsibility that directly benefits the country’s next generation of leaders.

The upgraded Ghanzi Youth Centre is expected to serve as a hub for innovation, education, and social engagement, contributing to both regional development and national goals of youth empowerment.

With Ghanzi setting the pace, attention now turns to other regions where similar projects may follow, as the Ministry continues to prioritise inclusive and sustainable youth-focused initiatives.
