Our monitors are now equipped and ready to champion accountability in communities.

Thank you to all stakeholders and youth leaders who made this week a success.

Appreciations to UNICEF Lesotho , Iom Lesotho and European Union in Lesotho

As we continue empowering AGYWs and young men in Ts’ala-Moleka to influence policy and advocate for inclusive, youth-friendly SGBV services, today we commenced our weekly training by reviewing, learning and validating our SGBV Training Handbook focus on Module 1 to 4.

🚀 Phase Two, we shall be focusing on module 5 and 6 which is on strengthening monitors’ advocacy, communication skills, Community Action Planning and understanding of roles played by accountability groups monitors.

🙏 BYAD extends its sincere gratitude to UNICEF Lesotho , Iom Lesotho and European Union in Lesotho for their invaluable support.

No survivor should ever have to wonder where to turn after experiencing Sexual and Gender based Violence SGBV. Every survivor deserves to know where help is—and how to access it.

BYAD convened a Youth–Service Provider Collaboration and Joint Action Planning Meeting in Ts'ala-Moleka Community Council, bringing together Youth Community Accountability Groups, service providers, to strengthen survivor-centered SGBV services.

Together, we identified barriers to accessing services, mapped available SGBV services in Ts'ala-Moleka, strengthened referral pathways, and developed community action plans to improve coordinated support for survivors.

A heartfelt thank you to all our stakeholders and service providers who participated and and committed towards building a stronger, more responsive survivor-centered support system in Ts'ala-Moleka Community Council.

To UNICEF Lesotho , Iom Lesotho , European Union in Lesotho, Democracy Works Foundation and Skillshare Lesotho —thank you for your continued support and for taking time to join us during this important activity.

Today in Linakeng, a simple wheelchair became a symbol of hope. ❤️♿

With support from Recycling and Mobility Rehab, Botha Bothe Youth And Adult Development (BYAD) delivered a wheelchair to a young girl, opening a new journey of mobility, dignity and possibility.

Sometimes, changing a life begins with one simple act. Together, we can change lives.

What happens when young people stop waiting and start leading changes in their community?🔊

This week BYAD team visited Qalo, Ha Pokane, Ha Leboea and Machoaboleng in T'sala-Moleka Community council to strengthen established Youth Community Accountability Groups ( CAGs), assess gaps and deepen understanding of the SGBV project.

Final community visit is tomorrow.

📍 Project Update | T'sala-Moleka Community Council

The establishment of Youth Community Accountability Groups and parental engagement sessions is still underway across T'sala-Moleka Community Council. While young people are being empowered to lead positive change, parents are being engaged to support this important initiative.

So far, we have reached Ha Pokane, Kotsonkoaneng, Matlaong, Phothong, Linakeng, Ha Mohalenyane, Ha Malofo, and Sekubu. Today, we are in Qalo, continuing this important work.

🙏 Our sincere appreciation goes tUNICEF LesothohIom Lesothoho and thEuropean Union in Lesothoho for their valuable support through the Youth Power Hub initiative. Together, we are building safer, stronger communities for all. 💙

🌍 Meaningful Youth Engagement Begins with Parents🤝

Parents, guardians and young people themselves play a vital role in creating a safe and supportive environment where young people can confidently participate, express themselves, and contribute to positive change. When families are informed and involved, young people are better equipped to take part in initiatives addressing Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) and promoting safer communities.

✅ Today, Botha Bothe Youth And Adult Development (BYAD) conducted a Parental Engagement Session which involved young people in discussions at Ha- Pokane, Botha Bothe, as part of the stakeholder engagement process for the Youth focused SGBV Project under YouthPowerhub.

During the session, parents, guardians and young people were introduced to the project, engaged in meaningful discussions, and encouraged to strengthen their role in:
✔ Supporting young people’s participation
✔ Preventing SGBV within communities
✔ Building safe, respectful, and inclusive spaces for youth

💙 We extend our sincere appreciation to UNICEF and IOM, with generous support from the European Union (EU), for making this important initiative possible. Together, we continue to empower communities and work towards a future free from violence.
