Our Story

Local People Creating Local Opportunity

Lehikeng is a citizen-led organisation serving underserved children and young people in Maun and the wider Ngamiland community.

We believe meaningful change happens when people are supported not only through moments of need, but along the full journey toward confidence, capability, and independence.

Our Impact at a Glance

Our Beginnings

We Started by Responding to What We Saw

Lehikeng began with a simple conviction: children and young people should not be denied opportunity because of the circumstances into which they were born.

What began as community care has grown into connected programmes supporting nutrition, wellbeing, personal development, education, internships, and employment.

Dignity

Every person deserves to be treated with respect and recognised for their potential.

Opportunity

Lasting progress requires access to learning, skills, relationships, and meaningful work.

Community

Children thrive when families, volunteers, businesses, and local institutions work together.

Long-Term Change

We address immediate needs while building pathways toward independence.

Our Team

The Lehikeng Youth Center

Help Us Build a Permanent Home for Opportunity

A permanent home will bring nutrition, learning, mentorship, digital access and employment preparation together under one roof in Maun.
