Summary

Talitha Kum Youth Ambassador Lone Botshelo from Botswana, a 2024 participant in the organization’s program, has become an advocate for combating human trafficking. Initially unaware of the issue within his country, he joined Talitha Kum and underwent training. His experiences led him to recognize how deeply human trafficking affects vulnerable communities, particularly women and children. In response, Lone combined his work in finance with youth ministry and social action, focusing on issues such as climate change, mental health, and social justice. Inspired by the network’s mission, he joined Talitha Kum’s international gathering in Rome and was involved in workshops aimed at combating trafficking globally. Lone emphasizes the importance of digital platforms for awareness campaigns; they produce videos, reflections, and creative content to reach diverse audiences. During a national panel discussion, which included Church leaders, social workers, law enforcement officers, and government officials, Lone highlighted the significance of dialogue in addressing human trafficking issues effectively.
