JAPAN SUPPORTS LESOTHO'S FIGHT AGAINST HUNGER

July 31, 2025 - Today marks an important step in the fight against food insecurity in Lesotho, as the Government of Japan and the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) signed an Exchange of Notes to extend food assistance to our country.

Through this generous support, Japan has committed over M24 million to help provide food for Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) centres across Lesotho.

This support will help supply canned fish, maize meal, and fresh vegetables to young children, helping improve their nutrition and wellbeing during their crucial years of growth. The fresh vegetables will be bought from Basotho farmers.

The Government of Lesotho expresses its deep gratitude to the people of Japan and WFP for this continued partnership in supporting the health and future of Basotho children.

LESOTHO ADVANCES PHASE II OF LOWLANDS WATER PROJECT

July 30, 2025...Ministry of Natural Resources Lesotho, in collaboration with the World Bank, European Investment Bank, and the EU, is making steady progress on Phase II of the Lesotho Lowlands Water Development Project, aimed at providing clean and reliable water to Basotho communities.

At a progress meeting in Mafeteng, Minister of Natural Resources, Mohlomi Moleko, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to equitable water access. He announced that following talks with the Ministry of Finance, the project’s budget had been successfully increased, resolving earlier funding constraints.

“This adjustment will speed up infrastructure delivery, especially in high-demand areas,” said Moleko. “Our goal is a future where no Mosotho pays for water or electricity.”

Project Manager Mathalealira Lerotholi noted that Zones 2 and 3 (Hlotse and Maputsoe), Zone 6 (Mafeteng), and Zone 7 (Mohale’s Hoek) are key focus areas. The project will supply over 280,000 people with 57 million litres of clean water and improve sanitation for more than 20,000 residents.

Now 75% complete, the project is set to enter its next phase, with tenders expected in November 2025.
