CSR

My name is Mothusi Lesolle. I am a self-taught fashion designer. I come from Africa, Botswana. I have recently been accepted to study for a Master of Arts in Contemporary Fashion Design at IFA in Paris, France. I write this to you from my heart to ask you to turn my dreams into reality by supporting me financially as I pursue my studies.

In 2001 I pursued a Degree in Political Science which was never aligned with my dreams and aspirations. I chose this course because it only made sense in my culture that a grade “A” student of my caliber should pursue a technical course that was considered for the intelligence in my community. However, three years after graduating I could no longer hold back my calling in fashion. Despite the challenges that I faced while I was chasing my dream I launched my own fashion label and I was able to work with international organizations such as Commonwealth, United Nations, De Beers & many more.

My aspirations for the industry grew as my career took off and I was honored to represent myself and those that believed in my brand in some of the following ways;

. Created an eco-friendly gown that was displayed at the Buckingham Palace, United Kingdom which was later auctioned for a charitable benefit. . Displayed a traditional gown called Motlalepule at Macy’s Store, Metro center, USA for a month in celebration of World fashion. . Showcased in a few African countries and outside the continent.

Some of my community work is as follows; . Raising funds for girls who can not afford sanitary pads in Botswana and address other girl child issues that affect them. . Mentoring upcoming designers in my Community including older women in villages of my country to help shape their careers. . Helped a few girls from a refugee camp in Botswana to have a sense of belonging by donating a few prom dresses to them.

My dream is to contribute to many developing countries in Africa by helping them develop ethical and sustainable fashion practices and I believe my chance to finally get formal training with one of the leading Fashion institutions in the world will enhance my technical skills in fashion and help me develop a career in the international market.
