BHCโ€™s biggest headline-maker? A fully built home for a vulnerable beneficiary in Mohembo worth P552,390.64 โ€” a life-changing gift of dignity. Hot on its heels was the Semolale Reading Room overhaul (P368,162.11), now a buzzing learning hub. Schools felt the love too, from Goodhope Primary (P56,000) to Tau Manthe Primaryโ€™s P50,000 book boost, plus support to Botswana Accountancy College (P50,000) and University of Botswana (P5,000) to keep knowledge flowing.

BHC didnโ€™t stop there โ€” it powered community spirit with funding for expos and sporting events including the Moshupa District Show (P50,000), BDF Thebephatshwa Expo (P10,000), Boteti Agriculture & Mining Expo (P12,500) and the Kazungula Bridge Marathon (P10,000). Grassroots initiatives also got a lift through Greenloop (P22,500), Donation Ladies Circle (P10,000) and SOS (P1,000), ensuring no community was left behind.

And with a bold ESG strategy now in the pipeline, BHC is gearing up to hardwire sustainability, climate action, and social impact into every corner of its business.
