The document provides a summary of the history and people of Botswana. It describes how the Bush people were the original inhabitants, followed by the Hottentots and Bantu speakers around 2,000 years ago. The Shona speakers settled in the northeast in the 10th century and the Tswana settled in the southeast in the 15th century. By the 18th century the Tswana were well established. In 1820, various clans began forming nations along the Botswana-South Africa border due to pressures from the Zulu and Boers.

Since independence in 1966 there have been many impressive social and economic improvements. Ninety-seven per cent of the 1.5 million population have access to safe water, and with free primary education access to learning is high with over 84 per cent of children enrolled.

The number of orphans under the age of 15, because of AIDS, is estimated to be nearly 80,000.
