🌍 Celebrating Women’s Leadership:

MFDF is proud to celebrate our Chief Programmes Officer, Mats'eliso Mokitimi, on her selection as one of the women leaders in the TB Women Academy 2026 Cohort.

Mats'eliso recently participated in the Academy’s In-Person Leadership Meeting in Nairobi, Kenya, from 15–17 September 2026. The three-day leadership experience explored gender and its application to HIV, TB and malaria, leadership presence, advocacy, critical thinking, team leadership, professional development and personal leadership planning.

As an organisation committed to strengthening the leadership and meaningful participation of young women and communities, we are particularly excited about what this experience brings back to MFDF. The learning will strengthen Mats'eliso’s ability to lead and support programmes that are gender-responsive, youth-responsive and community-centred, including our work under the Her Voice Fund.

We are also pleased to recognise Y+ Global, a valued partner of the TB Women Academy and a partner in the Her Voice Fund initiative. It was especially meaningful for Mats'eliso to connect with , who represented Y+ Global during this leadership meeting in Nairobi. We appreciate the continued commitment to strengthening the leadership, voice and influence of young women and women affected by HIV and TB.

At MFDF, we believe that investing in women’s leadership strengthens programmes, organisations and communities.

We are proud to see one of our own learning, leading and bringing that leadership back home to Lesotho. 🇱🇸

YOUTH POWER HUB | Reaching Young People Where They Are

Mosepele Foundation Development Forum (MFDF) extends its sincere appreciation to UNICEF Lesotho, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), and the European Union (EU) for their continued support of the Youth Power Hub Lesotho programme, which is creating opportunities for young people to access information, participate meaningfully and have their voices heard.

Since July 2026, MFDF has been engaging young people through SRHR, HIV and TB sensitisation and peer education in schools, tertiary institutions and communities across Maseru.

Sessions have been conducted at Matala School of Excellence, Botho University and Abia High School, as well as in communities including Ha Matala, Ha Pita and Ha Motloheloa. Young people have engaged in open discussions around SRHR, HIV prevention, mental health, GBV, myths and misinformation, and barriers to accessing health services.

A heartfelt thank you to the schools, community leaders, councils, community-based organisations, youth clubs and communities who continue to welcome and create space for these important conversations.

🔥 YOUTH VOICES. YOUTH POWER. YOUTH AT THE TABLE.

The Youth Power Hub Lesotho continues to create spaces where young people can learn, speak up and take part in decisions that affect their lives. With the support of UNICEF Lesotho, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), and the European Union (EU), MFDF is strengthening meaningful youth participation in governance, public policy and advocacy. 🙌🏽

On 27–28 August 2026, 5 of our youth representatives participated in the National Youth Forum/Youth Parliament Dialogue organised by Gender Links Lesotho.

Young people explored governance, parliamentary processes, the 10th Constitutional Amendment, youth priorities and advocacy, and worked together to turn their concerns into concrete policy recommendations. 🗣️✊🏽 A major highlight was the development of a Youth Policy Brief to take young people's voices and priorities directly to Parliament.

Youth Dialogue on Economic Independence
Date: 12 August 2026
Report by: Manapo Mahloane (MFDF AGYW team leader)

As Lesotho celebrated Youth Day on 12 August 2026, two MFDF Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW) Team Leaders joined a Youth Dialogue on Economic Independence organised by Q***r Works at UNESCO Hall, Maseru.

The dialogue provided a platform for young people to engage with government and development partners on youth entrepreneurship, access to finance, leadership and democratic participation. Participants also learned about initiatives such as CAFI and WYDE, which create opportunities for young people through business support, financial literacy, leadership development and civic engagement.

For our AGYW Team Leaders, participating in the dialogue was an opportunity to strengthen their knowledge of economic empowerment and leadership—key pillars in enabling adolescent girls and young women to make informed decisions, reduce vulnerabilities and become active contributors to their communities.

This engagement by Q***r Works aligns with HER Voice Fund commitment to empowering AGYW with the knowledge, skills and opportunities to advocate for their rights, influence decision-making and build a future where young women are economically empowered and meaningfully included.

We celebrate the power, resilience and leadership of young people who are shaping a more inclusive and equitable Lesotho.

Youth Participation in National Policy and Budgeting Processes
Young Voices Shaping Lesotho's Health Future!
Date: 11 August 2026

Supported by the European Union (EU), UNICEF and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) through the Youth Power Hub Programme, Mosepele Foundation Development Forum (MFDF) continues to support opportunities for young people to meaningfully participate in national policy dialogue and decision-making processes that shape their future.

On 11 August 2026, MFDF participated in the Global Fund Grant Cycle 8 (GC8) Key and Vulnerable Populations Country Dialogue convened by the Lesotho Country Coordinating Mechanism (LCCM) at Victory Hall, Maseru.

The dialogue brought together representatives of key and vulnerable populations to identify priorities that will inform Lesotho's GC8 Concept Note and future investments in HIV, TB and health systems.

Representing the voices of young people, our youth representative advocated for equitable financing for priorities identified by young people which include continuation of youth friendly activities to respond to HIV-TB and strong health systems
This engagement demonstrates that meaningful youth participation goes beyond consultation—it is about ensuring young people help shape policies, influence resource allocation, and contribute to decisions that affect their lives.

At MFDF, we remain committed to ensuring that young people are recognised as partners in development, because lasting solutions are built with young people, not for them.
