Healthy People, 

Healthy Land


Lesotho is a small landlocked country completely surrounded by its neighbor South Africa. It is a nation of mountains with the highest low point of any country in the world. Its greatest resources are water and diamonds and these along with mohair and some textiles are its only exports. 

The people of Lesotho pronounced “lesootoo” are called Basotho and their language is Sesotho. 

Basotho are a resourceful and enduring people but they face many challenges that are at the core of our Healthy Lesotho efforts.
