I'm raising £15,000 per annum for children with disabilities in Lesotho.

Thanks for taking the time to visit POP Lesotho's JustGiving page.

Founded by physiotherapist Jan Jeffrey, the Physiotherapy and Outreach Program Lesotho (POP Lesotho) aim is to provide children with disabilities in Lesotho with the support and opportunities they need to help them fulfil their potential.

POP Lesotho achieves this by capacity building with care givers in the community, empowering them with physiotherapy skills training, health care knowledge and advice, by supporting children with disabilities in education and by providing them and by providing assistive equipment using Appropriate Paper-based Technology (APT) and through the purchase and recycling of wheelchairs.

The project is community based and its outreach program operates across three districts, Maseru, Leribe and Butha-Buthe, with a particular focus on children with cerebral palsy (CP). POP has a holistic approach to its work and is concerned with the physical, emotional, and social welfare of children with disabilities. It advocates for children’s rights through awareness raising and supports inclusive education through enabling environments and promoting positive attitudes and behaviours.

In 2022 POP Lesotho registered as a non-profit company in Lesotho. With a grant from the British High Commission It built its workshop at Abia High school in 2023, where it repairs wheelchairs and makes APT furniture from recycled cardboard. It currently supports children with disabilities at two mainstream schools and works in the community with families in Maseru, Leribe, and Butha-Buthe supporting children with physiotherapy, health care and assistive equipment.
