Project Name: YOUR DOOR CLINIC
You Door Clinic is an inclusive, community-focused initiative inspired by my studies in Health Promotion and Education and the World Health Organization’s (WHO) principle that healthcare is a fundamental right for everyone, regardless of where they live,their socio-economic status, or their background. Through my academic background and passion for promoting health equity, I recognized the pressing need to address disparities in access to healthcare and basic resources, particularly in underserved and remote areas of Botswana.
The initiative focuses on improving the quality of life for all individuals—women, men, children, and the elderly—by providing essential resources and fostering education and awareness. By combining evidence-based strategies from my studies with WHO’s vision for universal health coverage, Your Door Clinic aims to empower communities and create lasting, meaningful change.

Why It Matters
In Botswana, health disparities are widespread, especially in rural areas where access to healthcare and resources is often limited. Through my academic background in Health Promotion and Education, I have learned the importance of addressing these gaps by implementing community-based strategies that empower individuals and improve their overall well-being. By combining these strategies with WHO’s advocacy for universal access to healthcare, Your Door Clinic aims to break down barriers and ensure no one is left behind.
Summary
Your Door Clinic is a passion project inspired by my education and WHO’s vision for equitable healthcare. It provides essential resources such as sanitary pads, clothing, and toys while empowering communities with health education and awareness. By addressing the needs of women, men, children, and the elderly, this initiative strives to create a healthier, more inclusive society in Botswana, where everyone can access the care and resources they need to live with dignity.
