The community Leaders Education Fund (CLEF) offers partial funding to students from identified rural communities surrounding conservation areas in Botswana. Africa Foundation has provided 14 bursaries to students around the Okavanga Delta region.
CLEF benefits from a number of graduates who have become ambassadors for tertiary level education in their communities- returning to their old High Schools to motivate youth to apply to college/university and CLEF. The ambassadors also play a mentorship role with the current CLEF students to support them through the challenges of university life.
