We are excited to be supporting projects at the Leribe Agricultural Training School and the Maluti Adventist Hospital in 2024.

Healthy Land: We are raising funds to buy the machinery needed to set up the teaching machine shop at LATS.

Our counterparts in Lesotho have been busy preparing the teaching space by repairing the roof, building a wall, installing electrical outlets and building the benches that will hold the machines. We plan to purchase the machines in January 2025 so that students can begin learning how to build the regenerative agriculture tools in the first quarter of the year.

We estimate that the cost of purchasing the machines will be approximately $5,000 at current prices. These include a drill press, table saw, welder, grinder, plasma cutter, hand tools and safety equipment like goggles, welding helmets and hearing protection.

Healthy People: Lesotho has a maternal mortality rate of 566 per 100,000 live births, compared with 22 per 100,000 in the US. The infant mortality rate is 56 per 1000 lives births, compared with 5.6 per 1000 in the US.

The maternity ward at Maluti Adventist Hospital is in need of additional equipment to meet the needs of the 1700+ women who give birth there each year. The staff have asked for delivery beds to replace worn equipment, a portable ultrasound machine, an infant warmer, an additional incubator, a fetal doppler machine, one or more fetal/maternal labor monitoring machines and maternal vital sign monitors.
