A Community Care Initiative
A Community Care Initiative
Connecting Batswana through care, dignity and shared responsibility.
BAVA Threads of Home is a community-led initiative that collects gently used clothing from Batswana in Victoria and redistributes them through trusted partners in Botswana — ensuring dignity, warmth and care reach those who need it most.
This initiative exists to strengthen the bond between the diaspora and home, reminding us that distance does not break connection.
Why Threads of Home Matters
Why Threads of Home Matters
For many in our community, support is not just about material needs — it is about knowing someone cares.
Through Threads of Home, we:
Honour the principle of Botho — humanity, dignity and compassion
Support individuals and families in need with respect
Reduce waste while increasing community impact
Keep the spirit of shared responsibility alive across borders
Every item donated carries more than fabric — it carries care, intention and connection.
