Reimbursement & Funding for Services in Botswana

Holy Cross Hospice has received funding from community donations, international organisations and embassies - NORAD, Norwegian Church Aids and the US Embassy – in addition to a grant from the Botswana government. A 2-year grant was provided by the Bristol Myers Foundation (2001-2003) to develop core services and systems. All services are free.

Ramotswa Hospice at Home depends for its funding on the hospital to which it is attached; that in turn obtains faith-based funds for its operations and receives contributions from the Botswana government. All donations for the hospice are channelled through the hospital administration. Services are provided free to patients.

Light and Courage Centre is supported by a large number of donations from individuals, local businesses and international donors. The Centre has mainly been dependent on government funding and commits to fulfil government economic and social policies. Major donors include the Francistown City Council (children’s programme), UNAIDS (income generation) , the government of New Zealand (printing costs) , the government of Japan (vehicle) , Skillshare Africa (staff costs) and the government of Botswana - African Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Partnerships/ Botswana Network of AIDS Service Organisations (general running expenses and equipment) .
