Quolaquoe Mountain Connections
Peace Corp Volunteer Lynn Minderman served in the Qholaqhoe Mountain region of Lesotho in 2007-2008 and was witness to the abject poverty, devastating effects of HIV/AIDS, high unemployment, constant hunger of the population of orphans in the region and the barriers to education experienced by the high school aged population due, in part, to a tuition based system.
Qholaqhoe Mountains Connections is a response to Lynn’s experiences there. It is, quite simply, an effort to improve the lives of children orphaned by the ravages of AIDS and to help lift the country’s young people out of abject poverty through educational opportunities.
Our mission is to benefit the people of Qholaqhoe, Lesotho by providing financial grants to fund education, cultivate sustainable farming practices, and to alleviate hunger.
