Bokamoso was founded by Lesego Serolong (CEO), an internationally-inspired entrepreneur catalysing social impact through the power of industry. Pairing innovative business practices with a passion for empowering communities, she is in the business of envisioning a self-sustaining rural South Africa. Subsequent to her degree at the London School of Economics, Lesego spent time abroad in Asia in impoverished communities exploring the ways in which entrepreneurship presents a sustainable way to lift whole communities economically and on a long term scale. She is an alumna of the City College of New York
Bokamoso has invested in an agricultural accelerator (www.bokamosoimpact.co.za) in the desert of the Kalahari, North West Province. Bokamoso introduces innovative agricultural solutions to poverty, incubates local rural entrepreneurs, facilitates market connection and tackles lack of basic resources with commercial strategies and natural asset mobilization.
Lesego is the co-founder and chairwoman of Raise the Children International (www.raisethechildren.org), a registered nonprofit here in South Africa, USA and UK.
