Thank you for visiting the No.1 Ladies' Fund inspired by the No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency. We are dedicated to helping the women and children of Botswana bringing about good change and, more generally, to supporting our friends in Southern Africa.
Mma Ramotswe has asked us to focus on empowerment issues for women as well as culture - she always loved a good song or two in her time. Just ask her about bad-boy, trumpet-playing Note Makoti! But in "the women's world" a world Mma Ramotswe mentions to Mma Makutsi, there are many different ways, and this fund will support them.
Our friends at Comic Relief have helped us set up the No.1 Ladies' Fund for the women of Botswana. This in itself is a relief, for they share our passion for Botswana, and have made it concrete and will help us identify what programmes and charities will do the most long lasting good.
If you would like to contribute, please simply visit our secure donation page now.
We'd also like to add a special moment of reflection and thanks to our hero, friend, and extraordinary director, Anthony Minghella, who recognized the richness of the country and the people of Botswana.
From our hearts, thank you for watching our movie, The No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, and for wanting to help us in our mission to empower the women of Botswana.
Thank you, as Mma Ramotswe is often heard to say!
The Producers and Friends of the No.1 Ladies' Fund
