Action Lesotho works with community development groups on the ground; the groups are comprised of local volunteers who, working with the community, identify and prioritise the needs in the local area and Action Lesotho endeavours to create links, supports and essential funding for the development of the identified needs. Action Lesotho aims to promote employment opportunities through micro enterprise, cooperatives and revolving community loans. We believe that the way out of poverty is through access to information, education and trade.

Action Lesotho is a community based voluntary organisation that has been in existence since 2006; in its support of the MDGs it aims to assist and empower communities in Lesotho; alleviate the devastating effects of poverty and HIV/AIDS by working closely with community led groups to jointly support vulnerable and orphaned children, the disabled and those unable to gain employment by developing a variety of initiatives.

Action Lesotho links villages in Lesotho with villages and towns in Ireland to enable participation that enriches people in both countries. Action Lesotho is involved with Basotho counterparts in agricultural, educational, health and micro enterprise projects. Working directly with community groups we aim to create sustainable projects through capacity building using local NGOs and voluntary expertise from Ireland and Lesotho. Action Lesotho currently has twelve projects in Lesotho and is operating in the following areas: Maputsoe, Kolonyama, Berea, Qoqolosing.
