THE Rotary Club of Maseru on Thursday delivered donations worth M5000 to an underprivileged family in Khubetsoana.
The six-member Shae family received goods among them baby essentials, groceries, winter wear for the whole family and school uniforms for its three school-going age boys.
The boys aged six, eight and nine had not been attending school because of lack of uniforms as both parents are unemployed and are struggling to provide for them and their one-month-old sister.
The plight of the family inspired the Rotary Club of Maseru president, Yande Sikazwe-Mothae to mobilise resources to assist the family.

THE Lesotho Red Cross Society (LRCS) this week partnered with Coca-Cola in donating tippy tanks to district police headquarters across the country.
The project was launched at Qacha’s Nek Police Station on Monday.
Tippy tanks are simplified handwashing devices which are activated by a foot thereby ensuring that hands can be washed without touching the stand and spread bacteria.
LRCS secretary general Kopano Masilo said the project is meant to ensure that public places that attract many people have hand washing facilities to curb the spread of the Covid-19 virus. The project was funded by Coca-Cola through the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to a tune of M546 000.
Southern Africa: Drought (Food Insecurity) - Operation Update Report n°3 (MDR63003)
Format
Summary:
This operation update reflects the current situation and information available since the last operation update published in September 2020.
The operation timeframe will be extended by one month to end on 31 May 2021 to allow for a final evaluation to be completed. Simultaneously, as needs persist and the funding gap in 2020 allowed to reach less than half of the targeted people in many places, extending the operation further beyond May is being discussed. Following discussions with the National Societies and estimates of needs and possible activities, a new operation update may be published to extend the timeframe or the Emergency Appeal may be revised should a change of activities be foreseen.
