World Vision Lesotho and Habitat for Humanity Lesotho Hand Over New Homes to Vulnerable Families

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Date: 06 November 2025

Five Families Benefit Through Partnership Aimed at Enhancing Child Wellbeing

Maseru, Lesotho — In a continued effort to improve the wellbeing of vulnerable children and their families, World Vision International Lesotho (WVIL), in partnership with Habitat for Humanity Lesotho, will officially hand over newly constructed houses to five vulnerable families on Tuesday, 11 November 2025.

The official handover ceremony, taking place in Rothe Area Program, will symbolize the completion of homes for all five families identified among World Vision’s registered children—three in Rothe and two in Mohale’s Hoek Area Program. The initiative, made possible through Stanlib’s generous funding, includes the construction of two-roomed houses and toilets for each family.

This effort forms part of a three-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between World Vision Lesotho and Habitat for Humanity Lesotho, which aims to enhance child wellbeing by addressing one of the most critical needs among vulnerable households—safe and adequate shelter.

“At World Vision Lesotho, we believe that a safe home is the foundation of a child’s wellbeing,” said Maseisa Ntlama, World Vision Lesotho Advocacy and Partnering Lead. “Through this partnership with Habitat for Humanity Lesotho, we are ensuring that the most vulnerable children have not just a roof over their heads, but a dignified place where they can grow, dream, and thrive. This collaboration demonstrates the power of partnership in transforming lives.”

The joint initiative underscores how strong partnerships between development organizations can create lasting, tangible change in communities. The provision of proper housing not only restores dignity but also strengthens families’ resilience and supports children’s holistic development.

The handover event will be attended by representatives from both organizations, community leaders, funding partners, and beneficiaries, marking a significant milestone in the shared mission to build hope and promote sustainable development in Lesotho.
