Breaking the cycle of poverty
Action Lesotho’s goal
Action Lesotho is an Irish NGO whose aim is to bring much needed humanitarian and development aid from Ireland to the Kingdom of Lesotho. Our work is carried out in the spirit of service to others, by which we mean that all the work in Ireland, from board members to our committed volunteers, is carried out without payment or any financial reward. Nobody in Ireland draws a wage. This ensures the vast majority of your donations go to our projects on the ground in Lesotho and towards supporting our fully Basotho staff there.
Childhood Education and Wellbeing
Our Childhood Education and Wellbeing Programme is aimed at the poorest and most disadvantaged of the children in the community, many of them orphans and all of them vulnerable.
Through our programmes we aim to give these children as good a life-chance as any other child. Our support is offered through seven different programmes within this project.
Horticulture
We create bespoke continuing education programs to address the needs of teachers and their student communities. From training on the latest technology to new pedagogical methods, we help teachers make their classrooms engaging and successful.
Training for employment
Education happens within the context of a larger community. Our approach extends beyond the school to help ensure students have the necessary support to do their best learning.
Health and Nutrition
In Lesotho most adults and even many babies and infants do not get adequate nutrition due to poverty. Our Health and Nutrition programme provides weekly parcels of milk, sorghum porridge and peanut butter to each child.
How You Can Help
We rely entirely on donations of money, items and voluntary staffing to keep our projects in Lesotho running. There are many ways you can assist us in our work.
