Botswana’s government has introduced a new initiative to support families by providing a $22 monthly grant to parents of newborns. Additionally, infants will receive free pampers and milk for their first three months to ease the financial burden on parents.
This policy reflects Botswana’s dedication to improving social welfare, which already includes free education, healthcare, legal aid, and land distribution for its citizens. The government also provides allowances for senior citizens and people with physical disabilities, ensuring support for all age groups.
Powered by its thriving diamond industry, Botswana has grown into a middle-income nation, enabling the funding of these comprehensive social programs.
