Help Lesotho’s MISSION is: We develop and deliver holistic, innovative programs that help people heal, learn new skills and strategies, and ultimately take action for the benefit of others. We are empowering a critical mass of children and youth with the knowledge and support needed for them to lead a movement that:
- Advocates for social justice, particularly the rights of girls and women in pursuit of gender equity;
- Promotes the prevention of HIV transmission; and
- Champions and challenges all involved to make healthy decisions and be socially responsible.

Volunteering
In Canada:
The Canadian office (Ottawa) has a very small staff so volunteers are key to keeping our office running smoothly. Volunteer positions range from general office administration to specialized positions revolving around technical skills.
In Lesotho:
Help Lesotho does not have the capacity to absorb a large number of volunteers. The head office in Lesotho is a small town about 2 hours from the capital city. Volunteers must bring a range of skills and experiences that will benefit the programs and projects on the ground. Volunteer positions range from construction, project management, psycho-social support, teaching/tutoring and facilitation.
Current Opportunities:
- Qualified teachers/tutors (ESL, math, science) to work in the Hlotse Centre. Minimum 2 month commitment.
For those Basotho seeking volunteer placements in our organization in Lesotho, please note that we occasionally select volunteers who are graduates of our intensive youth leadership training program in Hlotse living close enough to reach our two centres on a daily basis.
Please contact us if you are interested in volunteering in Lesotho.
