We fund small business start ups in Lesotho to reduce financial hardship and poverty

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We are raising much needed funds for our friends charity C.H.E.F.  (The Catering Hospitality and Education Foundation).

C.H.E.F. was founded to help prevent and reduce both poverty and financial hardship of those living in Lesotho. 

Between 2013 and 2016, Wayne and his wife Tessa, were fortunate to live and work in Lesotho where they designed, built and managed a catering school and conference centre to help generate profits to support social development programmes.

With first hand experience of living and working in Lesotho, they were able to see just how beautiful this small African, landlocked county is, and just how hardworking and eager the Basotho people are to better themselves.

Unfortunately, due to multiple factors, 1 in 4 people are living in poverty whilst many of those not classified as living in poverty still suffer from financial hardship due to low income.

This has only gotten worse over the past couple of years as the country has been in and out of lockdown due to Covid-19, and many people who worked so hard to get themselves out of poverty are now being thrown back into it.

By sponsoring us you are helping us to make a difference on the ground by supporting people in to work or education and giving them an opportunity to have an acceptable standard of living which is something many of us take for granted, so THANK YOU very much!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
