Glasswaters Africa

Glasswaters’ international project work in Africa focuses on health and poverty issues. It is important to us that the support we provide is informed by listening to what people and communities really need, and how they envision our work being meaningful and supportive. Working with local, citizen-led initiatives means that Glasswaters’ work is culturally appropriate and facilitates community sustainability.

Our projects are based in Lesotho, a small mountainous kingdom surrounded by South Africa, where the AIDS epidemic continues to impact the lives of so many. Well over half of the population lives in poverty and more than a third of Lesotho’s children have lost their parents to the HIV/AIDS.

We partner with local organizations working in Maseru, Morija, Leribe, Butha-Buthe and Hlotse to provide meaningful education to youth and young adults and health care and advocacy programs to benefit vulnerable children and adults living with disabilities.
