Dear Stakeholders, Partners and our Esteemed Beneficiaries,
On behalf of Sesotho Media and Development (SM&D), its dedicated team, and my fellow Board of Trustees, I am honored to express our profound gratitude to all those who have contributed to our organization’s success and impact over the past 24 years. Your unwavering support and collaboration have been instrumental in driving positive change through SM&D in Lesotho and beyond
We extend our sincere appreciation to our esteemed partners, both local and international, for sharing our vision and collaborating with us on numerous projects. Your commitment, expertise, and shared resources have allowed us to expand our reach and deepen our impact
We acknowledge and appreciate the trust, engagement, and active participation of the community members and beneficiaries whom we serve. Your voices, experiences, and aspirations are at the heart of our work. We remain committed to empowering and uplifting your lives through our programs and initiatives as we look ahead into the next 5 years.
Without your collective support, guidance, and collaborative spirit, the existence of SM&D would not have been possible. As we look ahead, we remain committed to strengthening our partnerships, expanding our impact, and creating a brighter future for Lesotho.
