Meleko Nkwe



Board Member



Meleko was one of the founding members of Nkaikela in 1998. She is originally from Kgatleng District. As a former sex worker, Meleko wanted to help those who desperately needed help. She was witnessing a lot of women dying from HIV and wanted to make a change. She previously had volunteered at Emang Basadi; yet, they served Gaborone only. Furthermore, she brought Emang Basadi to Tlokweng to extend the scope of the work and the project. She would donate her own money to help people, which depicts how dedicated she was to the project. To put it simply, she refuses to give up and let women die. Twenty years later, she serves as the field work coordinator, a board member and a peer outreach worker for Nkaikela Youth Group. Her dedication and commitment to helping sex workers gain equal access to health care services is apparent in her many years of volunteering at Nkaikela. She has one son who is 29 years old. As he grew up, Meleko made it a point to teach him about contraception and protection. She wants to help all children and all families.
