Basotho’s heartfelt appreciation for the Water Project
“Today marks exactly 37 years since the signing of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project Treaty! The LHWP treaty was signed on 24th October, 1986.
As we look back on the past three decades of impact and transforming lives of Basotho and the face of the country on the international decelopment stage, we are grateful for the unwavering support, teachings, and partnership that Basotho, government, development partners, communities, and many others, have given to the LHDA and the project as a whole.
We look back on these past years with a spirit of Reflection, Introspection and Gratitude. We celebrate the achievements, acknowledge the challenges, interrogate the learnings, and most importantly, look to the future with ambition and aspiration for the next numerous decades of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project.
To celebrate the day, LHDA teams all over the country are out of their offices, going out and about various locations to share information with Basotho, clean the environment, donate various items, plant trees, and many other activities.
We look forward to, over the next few days and weeks, share with the nation, a series of what we are proudest about that the project has achieved this far, and to aspire and dream together, what the future of the LHDA and the Lesotho Highlands Water Project can look like.”
