Introducing Vehae Tjiriange, Rotary Peace Fellow Class XXIV (2025-2027).
We are honored to introduce Vehae Tjiriange, a successful Peace Fellowship applicant, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Dundas Valley Sunrise, recommended by our District 7090 Peace Fellowship Subcommittee and also recommended by the Rotary Club of Hamilton After Five.
Vehae is now enrolled as a Rotary Peace Scholar at International Christian University in the Peace Studies, Public Policy and Social Research Program in Japan.
The Rotary Peace Center announcement describes Vehae as “…a social entrepreneur, civic leader, and leadership and development coach for girls and young women from Maun, Botswana.” Her achievements include founding and leading a program that advances gender equality and women’s leadership beyond Botswana to include South Africa and Cameroon.
District 7090 Rotarians worked with Pinkie Mothibedi, previous District 7090 recommended Peace Fellow and Paul Harris Fellowship recipient, to recruit and support Vehae with her application.
Vehae continues to have regular communication with Rotarians in District 7090.
