The currency of Botswana is called “Pula,” which literally translates to “rain.”

Botswana’s Kalahari desert spans 70% of the country’s landmass, equal to the same size as the state of California.

(Side note: the world massively underestimates the size of African countries..)

In deserts, water is everything. My grandmother, born in the desert of Sukkur, loved living in Florida because she said the plants were always singing with all the rain. 🌧️

I am told that Botswana 🇧🇼 has a blue flag precisely because of the significance of rain.

Had an amazing time meeting banks and companies in Gaborone. TLG Capital has a lot of exciting plans in the works for financing great SMEs in Southern Africa.
