History

JOHB had its beginnings in May 2008 when a group of women – some of whom are breast cancer survivors – raised funds for a woman who could not afford urgent breast cancer treatment.

“Komatsu is committed to being a responsible and caring social partner by aligning the company's business & know-how with the needs of society. We strive to enhance the quality of life, develop and grow with the people we serve via our program.

As Komatsu Botswana, we are proud, and indeed privileged, to play a role in supporting the excellent, and far reaching work being done in our country by Journey of Hope Botswana. Pula!”

REMEMBERING BEV

At the end of the month of July 2019 - less than two weeks before our 10th Annual Big Journey, our beloved Bev Denbury lost her fight against Breast Cancer. Bev was one of the co-founders of Journey of Hope Botswana (alongside Rita Keevil and Marilyn Garcin).

Bev was the epitomy of Hope, and we continue
Journey of Hope Botswana in her honour.
