From thriving home gardens to restored water systems serving more than a thousand families and facilities in Qhuthing and Qacha’s Nek in Lesotho, resilience is growing through local action supported by @LesothoRedCross and volunteers, supported by @IFRCAfrica Pretoria Cluster.
A visit in Mafeteng, 🇱🇸 is centred on communities: what worked, what did not, and how support can go further. @IFRCAfrica Pretoria Cluster Delegation & @LesothoRedCross are using these insights to strengthen future drought projects.
Local Action,
Global Reach.
