THE THUTO FOUNDATION | Think Tank Thuto

From 2007 - 2012 a 21st C Sustainable Eco- School Development was planned by a group of volunteer Engineers, Artists, CGI Designers, Entrepreneurs, Professors & Students. The individuals were from ARUP (Los Angeles, Texas & Botswana); Members of the Anglican Diocese of Botswana, Africa; University of Botswana; Queen’s University(Canada); University of California, Los Angeles (U.S.A.); ArtCenter, Pasadena (U.S.A.); University of Southern California (Los Angeles).

Michel Cavro (CGIArchitect) based in Luxembourg helped visualize the campus 2008 - 2012.



When Kgosi (Chief) Mathangwane donated land in 2007, no-one knew that it would take over 10 years to transfer titles of the land over to the Anglican Diocese of Botswana. 2014 Annelize Bester accompanied by members of the Anglican Diocese of Botswana; a group of villagers from Mathangwane; and members of the VDC (Village Development Council) from Mathangwane met with the Landboard. 2016 the Land was finally transferred to the Anglican Diocese of Botswana for Development. The Diocese’s leadership by then had changed from Rt. Rev. Trevor Mwamba to Rt. Rev. Beleme


2007 - 2014

From 2007 to 2014 during R&D trips to Botswana, several Digital Arts Workshops were conducted with children from Gaborone, Francistown and Mathangwane. The end result was/ is an archive of photography by the children for the children of Botswana (#THUTO #TCOBW #Mathangwane).

Thank-You to everyone who helped.
