About Our Programme in Lesotho

The isolated Kingdom of Lesotho- surrounded on all sides by South Africa-  is breathtakingly beautiful. But life in this mountainous terrain is tough, and less than 5% of the population manages to grow enough food to eat all year round.

Many people in Lesotho are now trying to eke out a living through farming- but the country's severe climate and fragile ecology are against them. There is no rain between April and September. When the rains do come, they are sudden and heavy- but run straight off the mountainsides. That is due largely to environmental damage caused by chopping down too many trees and over-farming the land.
