🇧🇼 60 Years of Independence. 60 Years of a Nation in the Making.

As Botswana celebrates 60 years of independence, we celebrate the women who have helped shape the nation we know today — women who have led, built businesses, raised families, served communities, broken barriers and created opportunities for those coming behind them.

At Woman to Woman, we believe every woman has a story worth telling and a contribution worth recognising.

As we look back with gratitude, may we also look forward with purpose — continuing to create space for women to lead, influence, build and leave a meaningful legacy.

Happy 60th Independence Anniversary, Botswana.

Orange Botswana, TEMCO Partner on Digital Healthcare
 Providing connectivity and ICT solutions to support hospital operations

Orange Botswana has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with TEMCO (The Extraordinary Medical Company), paving the way for the telecommunications company to become the preferred connectivity provider for the TEMCO hospital development ecosystem at the Gaborone Airport Special Economic Zone, anchored by a 130-bed specialised hospital.

TEMCO is a National Development Plan 12 project licensed by the Special Economic Zones Authority. The ecosystem comprises the hospital, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and hospitality
and recovery facilities, and Orange is its first corporate partner.
The partnership will see Orange Botswana provide connectivity and ICT solutions to support TEMCO’s hospital and pharmaceutical manufacturing operations, including secure data
management, telemedicine, digital health records and digital payment solutions.

The memorandum reaches the whole ecosystem, covering smart infrastructure, utilities monitoring and digital services for the enterprises operating across the zone. Orange Botswana CEO Nene Maiga said the partnership demonstrates the role of technology in transforming healthcare delivery.
“This partnership brings together healthcare and technology to create a more connected and efficient patient experience. Our role is to provide the digital infrastructure that will support
TEMCO’s vision of delivering specialised healthcare.”

TEMCO is being developed to provide specialised services including high-risk obstetrics, neonatal and paediatric intensive care, cancer treatment, cardiac, neurosurgical and robotic
surgery, alongside the care families travel abroad for today: fertility services and IVF for women and men, specialist surgery and intensive care for children, weight-loss surgery, cosmetic and
reconstructive procedures, and rehabilitation for older patients after a stroke or a joint replacement.

Maiga said the project also presents an opportunity to position Botswana as a regional healthcare
destination.

“TEMCO has regional ambitions, and Orange is proud to support that ambition. Reliable connectivity will be critical in enabling the hospital to serve patients from Botswana and across
southern Africa.” TEMCO Chairman Sailas Temwa said the partnership would strengthen the hospital’s ability to
deliver technology-enabled healthcare.

“Our vision is to build a world-class healthcare facility that meets the needs of Botswana and the region. Having a strong technology partner is an important part of making that vision a reality.”

Maiga said Orange would continue to leverage its technology and digital financial services capabilities to support developments that contribute to Botswana’s socio-economic growth.
“We believe technology must be an enabler of national development. This partnership is an example of how connectivity, digital services and healthcare can come together to create
meaningful economic and social value.”

TEMCO is expected to serve patients from across southern Africa, with its location within the Gaborone Airport Special Economic Zone supporting its ambition to develop Botswana as a
regional medical hub.

Inside Botswana’s Diamond Industry: Learning, Skills & Opportunity

We had the opportunity to attend the Stargems Diamond Training Institute Media Open Day, getting a closer look at the learning environment and the practical skills being developed within Botswana’s diamond industry.

From classroom learning to hands-on training, the institute is creating opportunities for trainees to build knowledge and expertise that can contribute to the country’s growing diamond value chain.

For us at Woman to Woman, it was encouraging to see education, skills development and technology transfer being brought together to help prepare Botswana’s workforce for the future.

Because empowerment is not only about creating opportunities — it is also about equipping people with the skills to make the most of them.

Educate. Develop. Empower. Transform.

Building Botswana’s Next Chapter

Botswana’s economic transformation will require investment, innovation, stronger exports and opportunities for job creation.

The Botswana Investment and Trade Centre (BITC) has unveiled its 2025–2030 Strategy, outlining a roadmap focused on attracting sustainable investment, growing exports, supporting emerging sectors and strengthening Botswana’s position in the global economy.

From tourism and agriculture to manufacturing, ICT, healthcare and the creative industries, the strategy highlights the opportunities available to broaden Botswana’s economic base.

For women in business, entrepreneurs and professionals, developments like these are worth paying attention to — because economic transformation also creates space for new businesses, new ideas and new opportunities.

📌 Read more about the strategy and what it could mean for Botswana’s economic future.
