MATHOLANG Bereng, a widowed mother of two from Makoabating, Mafeteng has freed herself from the clutches of poverty by participating in a drought alleviation project in her district.
Dubbed ‘Improving Adaptive Capacity of Vulnerable and Food Security Populations in Lesotho (IACoV)’, the initiative is a four-year project launched last October and is expected to end in 2024.
The project is being executed by the Lesotho Meteorological Services (LMS) and the Ministry of Forestry, Range and Soil Conservation in partnership with the World Food Programme (WFP).
