2022 Donations Impact

The following are just some of the impactful initiatives through which FOL has been able to assist Basotho communities and individuals this year. None of these projects would have been possible without the generosity of people like you.

May we count on your support again, so that we can continue our efforts benefiting Basotho children’s education and truly bottom-up community initiatives?

The many children attending the volunteer-led, extra-curricular Molete Reading Club in Khubetsoana no longer have to sit on the bare concrete floor during their Saturday meetings, thanks to a $1000 contribution from Friends of Lesotho (FOL). Practicing reading, problem-solving, and teamwork just got a little bit more inviting and comfortable for these children.

The Sechaba Community Initiatives Organization is planting fruit trees in dongas as a way to reduce soil erosion and simultaneously create new income streams for the community. The community has secured the assistance of agricultural tree experts from the Ministry of Forestry. FOL is supporting this ambitious project with funds for the physical infrastructure required for establishing a tree nursery, such as shade nets and poles.

Heal Our Land Organization (HOLO) works in the Matsieng area. The region has gained notoriety because of the deadly gang violence linked to Famo music rivalries and illegal mining in South Africa. One of HOLO’s fields of action is to provide educational and motivational support for the many unemployed youths and school dropouts in the area. FOL contributed $2200 toward building materials. The construction of a special building to house the organization’s activities is now well underway. Community members contribute in letsema.
