World Vision unveils five-year plan for 650,000 vulnerable Lesotho children
The 'BOLD HOPE' National Strategy 2026-2030 covers children from early childhood to adolescence, with work on health, nutrition and child protection.
World Vision International Lesotho launched its 'BOLD HOPE' National Strategy 2026-2030 last Friday, aimed at improving the wellbeing of 650,000 vulnerable children from early childhood to adolescence.
National Director James Chifwelu said the launch reaffirmed the charity's commitment to letting every child in Lesotho live life in its fullness, whatever their circumstances. The strategy promises agile, low-cost, high-impact programmes.
World Vision has worked in Lesotho since 1987 across six Area Development Programmes, and Chifwelu cited progress on child protection systems, water, sanitation and hygiene, and menstrual health, which led to a National Menstrual Health Strategy.
Why it mattersVulnerable children in the most remote and hard-to-reach areas of Lesotho are the people the strategy is designed to reach.
