It includes office furniture, personal medical kits, computers, Wi-Fi routers, tables, mobile phones and printers.<\/p>\n<p>Five community radios and NGOs including Red Cross Lesotho, Bacha Re Bacha Youth Forum, Touching Tiny Lives, Maletsonyane Theatre Club, Lerato Community Centre, Hands of Compassion, Morate Cerebral Palsy Association of Lesotho, The Hub, Bethel Business and Community Development, Ratang Community Foundation and Faith House received the donation.<\/p>\n<p>St Paul for the Deaf, Development for Peace and Education, Young Christian Students and Impact School also benefited. Speaking at a recent handover ceremony, European Ambassador to Lesotho, Paola Amadei, said they decided to donate to organisations that had educational programmes for the disadvantaged, including children and the disabled.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Amadei said they had agreed with EU EOM to donate the equipment to organisations based outside Maseru. \u201cWe are trying to do away with the tendency of donating to organisations in Maseru forgetting those in the districts,\u201d Ms Amadei said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis equipment should not be sold or used for personal use.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d Speaking at the same event, Moeling Community Radio manager, Moorosi Lazaro, said he was humbled by the gift.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe equipment will go a long way in improving our work. We have always needed it but could not afford it,\u201d Mr Lazaro said.<\/p>\n<p>Leratong Community Centre\u2019s Motena Tau also thanked the EU for the donation. \u201cOur sponsors are unable to cover all our needs. Most of our children need access to phones to do their school assignments but they cannot afford them. This equipment is going to be very helpful,\u201d Ms Tau said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/lesotho\">Lesotho<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
