Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>ECONET Telecom Lesotho built a two-roomed house for a destitute family in Qacha\u2019s Nek town. The house was handed over to the family in the presence of Social Development Minister Pitso Lesaoana last week.<\/p>\n

\u2019Mamookho Moorosi could not contain her joy after years of struggles she had endured.<\/p>\n

Her husband died some years ago, leaving her to take care of four children in her village in Qacha\u2019s Nek. With no stable job and constant income, life became extremely difficult.<\/p>\n

Apart from feeding her children, the widow had to find money to send them to school. As her problems worsened, the widow decided to go to South Africa to search for a job, any job that would keep misery at bay.<\/p>\n

When she arrived in South Africa, she still could not get a proper job that would pay her well. But the little she earned there was able to support the family back in Lesotho.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, she managed to put all her four children through primary school, buying uniforms and other necessities. However, her financial resources could not allow her to take her children further to high school.<\/p>\n

Her financial woes were so bad that even the teachers realised that she was struggling. One of the teachers successfully helped her children to access education grants at Econet Telecom Lesotho to assist them from Form B up to Form E.<\/p>\n

Shelter for the children was still a problem at the time. The house in which they were living was in a sorry state. It was so bad that its door was unable to lock.<\/p>\n

It was putting the children in danger, especially when the mother was away in South Africa eking a living. The very same teacher who helped the girl\u2019s family to apply for the school grant informed Econet about the unfortunate situation the family was in. This saw Econet intervening and building a brand new house for the family.<\/p>\n
