Catholic Women’s Organisation Maria ‘Mabasotho Empowers Youth with Essential Life Skills Amidst High Unemployment

Facing a daunting youth unemployment rate, the Catholic Women’s Organisation Maria ‘Mabasotho is actively stepping up with a series of impactful campaigns aimed at equipping young people with vital life techniques. These initiatives are designed to provide the youth with practical skills and strategies to confidently navigate life’s challenges and make informed decisions for a brighter future.

Understanding that life techniques encompass a broad range of competencies—from self-awareness to problem-solving—the organisation has invited experts to guide and mentor youth during their sessions. The latest event, held over the past weekend, featured a compelling talk by Mrs. Hlompho Ntobo-Letsie, a respected lecturer from Limkokwing University, along with other influential speakers.

During the session, Mrs. Ntobo-Letsie emphasized the importance of self-awareness as a foundation for personal growth and development. She encouraged young participants to deeply understand their own strengths, capabilities, and areas for improvement. According to her, recognizing these personal attributes is crucial in helping youth shape their paths and achieve success across various facets of life.

This initiative by Maria ‘Mabasotho highlights the organisation’s commitment to nurturing a generation of resilient, self-aware, and capable young people ready to overcome unemployment challenges. By providing life skills training, the Catholic Women’s Organisation is contributing meaningfully to empowering Lesotho’s youth, equipping them not only to survive but thrive in a competitive and changing world.
