Projects in Lesotho are going well

At Quthing, all children receive advanced schooling, right through to university.

The relocation of the vocational training project to Leribe has been a success. Opportunities and prospects for young people are much better there. For example, a group of young women trained as electricians subsequently joined forces to form their own company. Participants in the various training courses have also set up their own soccer team, with the aim of breaking down prejudice and promoting women’s abilities, gradually bringing about social change by countering situations of gender discrimination.

Young women from previous batches are also monitored. Some participants in the cooking course have subsequently been awarded scholarships worth CHF 3,500 to attend the renowned Dona Balos culinary school.
