Educational Work
We’re working hard to help every child in Lesotho get the education they have a right to.
Dolen Cymru realises the importance of education as a tool for creating understanding and tolerance, for lifting people out of poverty and for creating active global citizens. With only a quarter of primary school children in Lesotho going onto secondary education there are many challenges to be faced.
Dolen Cymru supports schools and educationalists in Wales and Lesotho in numerous ways. These range from our Lesotho Teacher Placement Programme, which allows Welsh teachers to work in schools in Lesotho for 6-12 months, to our school linking programmes and reciprocal visits which allow both primary and secondary schools in Wales to create sustainable links with schools in Lesotho. All of our educational work aims to develop longlasting relationships which can make a positive difference to the lives of people both in Wales and Lesotho.
We are currently working to get more young people involved with our projects and links with Lesotho.
Teaming up with Mencap Cymru, Dolen Cymru is working to raise the awareness of problems facing Lesotho to people with learning disabilities.
The Lesotho Teacher Placement Programme provides an opportunity for qualified teachers from Wales to work in a school in Lesotho for 6 or 12 months.
School Linking and Reciprocal Visits
Linked schools in Wales and Lesotho have the opportunity to lead the way in the development of a global village.
