Malebogo-Max is a non-profit organization which is based in Manyana. Its mandate is to raise the  development potential of the rural marginalized women and unprivileged girls aiming for gender equality and eradication of Gender based violence, through empowering and mobilizing their  participation in decision making to enable them to lead an adequate and self sustained life in the  rural society. The foundation acts as a voice for victims of GBV, contributes on areas of gender  inequality and promotes income generating projects for rural women. The tournament marries two agendas, which are at the core of this activism.

At the official announcement, DTC Botswana Managing Director, Mr Sedireng Serumola said, ‘We are very excited to be partnering with Malebogo Max Foundation at this years’ Malebogo Max Foundation Wheelchair Basketball Tournament.

Social Performance is one of our key drivers at DTC Botswana; we believe that every community within Botswana should benefit directly from the country’s diamonds.
