Positive Innovation for the Next Generation

Positive Innovation for the Next Generation, or PING, is a youth-led organization that implements health- or youth-related technology projects along with high school-age and college mentorship programs. The organization is based out of Gaborone, Botswana but is beginning to expand its projects out of Botswana into other African countries.
PING’s stated goal is to "help address health and development problems by using technology in an innovative way, and creating more problem solvers in the local population."〔("About Us" ). PING.〕
To achieve this goal PING ensures that whenever and wherever its technology and software projects expand, the mentorship programs〔(Youth Leaders Mentorship Program ). PING.〕 expand as well. This intention is to place local youth being trained with IT skills to support and maintain the software, wherever a PING tech project〔(Tech Projects ). PING.〕 is running. PING’s former name was the Botswana Association for Positive Living (BAPL), which was founded in January 2009 in Gaborone, Botswana.
== History of PING ==

The formation of PING was inspired by senior thesis research on people living with HIV and ARVs in Botswana, which PING founder Katy Digovich conducted during her junior year at Princeton University in summer 2007. Noting the ubiquity of cell phones in Botswana, she was inspired to start a project to send reminders to PLWAS (People Living With AIDS) to take their medication, remember their doctor’s appointments, and to send them their lab test results. When Katy won a 2008 Compton Mentor Fellowship grant, she began working with Motswana-born Lesedi Bewlay, to develop the software. Digovich and Bewlay formed a team of six to constitute the nonprofit organization that was to become Botswana Association for Positive Living (BAPL). In January 2009 the group became a registered NGO through the Register of Societies in Gaborone. In 2011 the organization changed its name from BAPL to Positive Innovation for the Next Generation (PING).
