It's hard to
accept that the mountain kingdom of Lesotho faces
extinction as AIDS/HIV has ravaged the population of
just 2.125 million (2019) with a quarter of all adults having the
virus and half of all women in the country being
infected. With a life
expectancy of 53.70 years (2018), Lesotho is ranked in 165th
place out of 189 countries and territories in 2019 in
terms of life expectancy, literacy, access to knowledge
and the living standards of a country. One in
three
children is an orphan, 40% of under fives are
malnourished and the country they
will grow up in faces water scarcity with the UN
estimating that just 3% of the country's land will be
farmable within 25 years.
It's understandable therefore
that most volunteer work programs in Lesotho focus on
caring for orphans, teaching projects and agricultural
sustainability as well as construction work addressing
the country's urgent water needs. Other volunteer work
involves supporting families headed by children
themselves whose parents have passed as well as securing
and promoting the right of girls and women.
Please note that many volunteer opportunities in Lesotho were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic which led to the permanent closure of some volunteer opportunities and restrictions on others. Hopefully things are now beginning to return to normal. If you run or
know of a volunteer work project in Lesotho let us know by
contacting us here. We look forward
to hearing from you!
