Arrival to Lesotho

Day 1 - Let the adventure begin!

The whole team left the Aviator Hotel at 8am, we were looking ahead for a 8 hour trip to Teyateyaneng.


The day was beautiful, the landscape of South Africa was mesmerizing, with its land-fields of green pasture and the mountains surrounding us, it was like in the movies.





We stopped for lunch at town called Ladybrand were we met Abang (Habitat Lesotho GV Coordinator) for lunch.


After our amazing lunch, we headed to the border control were our adventure in Lesotho began.



After crossing that border, we were happy to be closer to our final destination. We also started to realize why Lesotho is called “Kingdom in the Sky” since you could feel that you were surrounded by the beautiful mountains with all of its glory.






Finally we arrived at our hotel, were we got to rest a little bit before dinner.



During dinner Abang told us about Habitat for Humanity Lesotho and the different programs they had, and he said to us that we were going to support the program that aids vulnerable groups (mostly focusing on women and children), he said that women in Lesotho have issues with land tenure. Therefore Habitat  Lesotho and it’s advocacy team work in order to help women to have land on their name in order to have a house. He mentioned that Mosonngoa, the girl we were constructing a house, was orphan and that it was the first time working in Ha-Rampa.

Habitat Lesotho is also starting a WASH program to instal solution of community taps and teaching the communities how to maintain water sources.

After dinner we were excited to start working and help this girl and her family to have a better life quality.
