SOS Children's Villages Lesotho
The Kingdom of Lesotho is one of the poorest countries in the world, with an estimated 58 per cent of the population living below the poverty line. Any development in the alleviation of poverty over the past decades is being reversed by one of the most severe HIV/AIDS pandemics in the world, which is threatening the economy, delivery of social services and the entire social fabric of the country. SOS Children has been working in Lesotho since 1992 when construction started on the SOS community in the capital, Maseru. Following political unrest and fighting between rival army factions the village finally opened in 1995, with plenty of space for the children to run around and play. Ten family houses and four youth houses are home for children and there is a nursery which is open to local children as well. Medical and educational facilities in the area are limited and overcrowded, and so SOS has also provided a primary school and a medical centre, which sees over 1000 patients a month. Following political unrest in1998 which led to widespread food shortages, SOS Children Maseru established an emergency relief programme, distributing food and medicines to local families. http://www.soschildrensvillages.org.uk/sponsor-a-child/africa-child-sponsorship/lesotho.htm
