GLOW is a youth empowerment programme that was started by Peace Corps in Romania in the early 90s but has since grown in leaps and bounds due to its effectiveness. In Botswana, it was first started in 2006 solely run by the American Peace Corps volunteers. In 2007 they partnered with WAR as a way to sustain the program. In 2008 WAR took over the program.
Glow clubs are voluntary associations of students whose main goal is to create awareness among adolescents on issues that affect their growth and development. The clubs empower students with knowledge and skills on how to prevent issues such as Gender Based Violence, teenage pregnancy, HIV and AIDS, STIs, Alcohol and Drug abuse as well as leadership skills. Through these clubs students are empowered to effectively reduce their vulnerability and eliminate or mitigate socio-economic impact of these issues.
