How we change lives
Lesotho has the world's third highest prevalence of HIV (23.6%) and more than 100,000 children have been orphaned. This has had a devastating impact on life expectancy, on family and community structures and on the economy.
Our work is focused on helping young people to overcome these challenges and to support them in building a brighter future for themselves and their country. In doing so we work with hundreds of other organizations from large NGOs, government ministries and businesses to small community groups, schools and orphanages.
Our work is based on three programme areas:
Care & Support for Vulnerable Groups
