Food Crisis Christmas Appeal

This year has been incredibly difficult for our 330 clients in Mokhotlong and Thaba Tseka. Failed harvests and a late rainy season have left them in dire need of seeds, bumper food packages & access to medical care. We are currently overwhelmed by the number of people needing our help and our resources cannot be stretched to cover them all. Please, give the gift of life this Christmas by sending us a small donation which will go directly towards buying more maize meal, seeds and protein-rich food for our clients. 

On August 30th 2014, the General Lieutenant of the army led a military coup against the Prime Minister of Lesotho. Ongoing problems (contained to the political elite) have devastated the productivity and efficiency of local services. The Department of Agriculture, Food Security and Public Health have crumbled in the highlands, leaving NGOs like TTL to pick up the slack. Without the Departments' help to cultivate land (the use of combine harvesters, tractors, ploughs etc) people have been unable to harvest crops this season. We are doing everything we can to help our clients access food, whilst taking on new clients daily. Therefore, your gift will go directly to feeding a child not only at Christmas but until the next harvest season. 

Please help us to continue to save lives, one child at a time.

Thank you, bless you and Merry Christmas.
