About Us

Molaya Kgosi is a project filtering from the Young African Women Leaders Forum initiated by the First Lady of the United States of America Mrs Michelle Obama, and led by young Batswana women who are a part of the forum. The purpose of the program is to expose young women to experienced and successful women in this country. The program is to act as a bridge to close the gap between the generations, promoting intergenerational dialogue on career and leadership, and present a great mentorship opportunity.

Molaya Kgosi is an arm of Botswana Youth for United Nations Association, a registered organization with the Botswana Registrar of Societies.

The name Molaya Kgosi is derived from a Setswana proverb ‘molaya kgosi o a bo a mo itaela’ meaning, the knowledge you impart upon me, is of benefit to you as well.
