Lesotho: YOUTH ON THE MOVE – TAKING MEASURES TO ALLEVIATE POVERTY

Against the backdrop of rampant hunger and famine in Lesotho, especially in the rural villages, youth volunteers have taken it upon themselves to help communities with projects aimed at curbing abject poverty and HIV/Aids. Youth volunteers from the Lesotho Work Camps Association have embarked on work camps to help people in the villages with irrigation schemes during dry seasons, water supply, construction of houses and roads as well as soil and water conservation.
