The three-month feeding program piloted by Jonsson Manufacturing Lesotho is set to conclude by the end of this month. The initiative, launched in August, aimed to provide support to vulnerable groups within the Maputsoe community by offering soft porridge, a nutritional supplement for those in need.
During a recent tour of the feeding points around Maputsoe, Mr. Othabetswe Lebo, the Project Leader from Jonsson Manufacturing, shared details about the program’s impact. “In August this year, we launched this program with the purpose of extending a helping hand to the vulnerable groups by providing them with soft porridge,” Mr. Lebo explained.
The program has reached over 10,000 individuals in various areas across the Maputsoe community. It has served as a critical source of nourishment for many residents, particularly those who have been facing food insecurity due to economic challenges. The porridge was distributed daily at designated feeding points, ensuring that the most vulnerable—especially children, the elderly, and those with limited resources—had access to a vital source of sustenance.
As the program nears its end, Jonsson Manufacturing’s efforts have been praised for their positive impact on the community. While the three-month initiative is wrapping up, the company has expressed its commitment to exploring further opportunities for community engagement and support in the future.
The successful execution of this program highlights the importance of corporate social responsibility in addressing the needs of vulnerable populations, and Jonsson Manufacturing Lesotho’s efforts have undoubtedly made a significant difference in the lives of many in the Maputsoe area.
