What we do
Help Lesotho’s mission is to help young people in Lesotho build healthy, self-sustaining futures by providing mental health support, education, and leadership training. The organization aims to lessen the effects of HIV/AIDS, poverty, and gender inequality through programs that empower youth to lead change in their communities. Its focus is on giving young people the skills and confidence they need to overcome challenges and create better lives for themselves and others.
The organization works mainly in rural communities across Lesotho, a small country in Southern Africa. All programs are developed and delivered in partnership with local leaders, government, health workers, and civil society organizations. Help Lesotho is registered in both Canada and Lesotho, but its program activities and staff are based in Lesotho, serving people directly affected by HIV/AIDS, poverty, and unemployment.
Help Lesotho runs many programs designed for different groups, such as grandmothers, young mothers, children, herd boys, and youth. Key initiatives include life skills training, leadership development, computer skills, and psychosocial support for those affected by HIV/AIDS. Special programs like Leaders-in-Training and GIRL4ce teach communication, professionalism, and self-confidence, while others support education, child sponsorship, and youth employment. The organization trains local staff, many of whom are graduates of its own programs, to deliver these services and build lasting community capacity.

Our Programs
Our local staff deliver 22 life skills and psychosocial support programs for vulnerable and at-risk children, youth, young mothers, herd boys, teachers and grandmothers.
The goal of all programs is to support participants as they build their resilience and improve their well-being. Programs also respond to some of the most pressing issues in Lesotho, namely gender-based violence, HIV/AIDS, unemployment and poverty.
Programs are delivered in rural villages, partner schools, and at Help Lesotho’s two community leadership centres. Programs range from drop-in opportunities at the centres to year-long support programs, to community advocacy through youth-led entertainers to high school sponsorship.
Help Lesotho has developed a library of more than 100 locally-relevant participatory training modules that are used in our programs.
