Palms for Life

For over a decade, Palms for Life has been a force for change, thanks to the inspiring leadership of our founder and director, Hannah Laufer-Rottman. Guided by her belief that "the cycle of poverty can be broken".

Palms for Life donated food items to support 9 playgroups serving San communities in Botswana's Okavango district, providing nourishment to at least 250 young learners. This initiative reflects our commitment to ensuring access to basic human rights.🌟 #PalmsForLife #Botswana
