About The Fatherhood Fund

A transformative grant-style financing initiative supporting entrepreneurial fathers in Botswana

Father and child

Supporting Fathers Who Build Businesses

Born from the recognition that fathers are often overlooked in conversations around caregiving and economic development, The Fatherhood Fund celebrates and empowers the entrepreneurial spirit of dads across Botswana.

Created by Heavenly Mum Care Packages (HMCP), a women-led healthcare company that champions holistic postpartum care, we believe that fathers also deserve platforms that celebrate their contributions while unlocking their entrepreneurial potential.

Background and Rationale

In most conversations around caregiving and support, fathers are often overlooked as central figures in the nurturing and economic development of families. The Fatherhood Fund is born out of the recognition that many fathers have untapped business ideas and the capacity to create sustainable legacies not just for their own families, but for their communities.

Program Objectives

The Fatherhood Fund is designed to empower entrepreneurial fathers in multiple ways

Financial Support

Provide grant-style financing for business ideas brought forward by fathers to help turn their visions into reality.

Entrepreneurship Training

Equip participating fathers with essential business skills through comprehensive pre-event training sessions.
