The donation was made to ensure that the young inmates are kept warm during Lesotho\u2019s biting winters.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the hand-over ceremony, the Lesotho Correctional Service (LCS) officer overseeing the centre, Superintendent Mokhethi Raphuthing said offenders might not be fully rehabilitated due to some challenges they are facing.<\/p>\n<p>During a tour to see some of the challenges at the centre\u2019s school, it was found that the Form C class which was described as the best had a half ceiling which is about to fall off.<\/p>\n<p>The class was also found to have leaking roofs. Some of the classrooms are small to accommodate students. All the classrooms do not have windows and the roofs are leaking.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the teachers said it is very challenging to teach inside those classrooms especially in winters because there is no warmth in those classrooms.<\/p>\n<p>In the bedrooms there were not enough blankets. There were no pillows. Commissioner Thabang Mothepu said due to security reasons the pillows are not allowed, this is why the offenders use blankets as pillows.<\/p>\n<p>Superintendent Raphuthing said education is part of the rehabilitation process and so with poor conditions of classrooms and lack of infrastructure it becomes hard to fulfil that.<\/p>\n<p>He said they were able to use donations from Avani Lesotho so they can be able to fully rehabilitate the offenders. \u201cThis shows that they care about the children,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Minister of Justice and Correctional Service Mokhele Moletsane said correctional facilities must be secure and humane. He said they run rehabilitation programmes with the hope to influence behavioural change in minors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government always allocated money for that, but the resources are never enough,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>LCS Commissioner Thabang Mothepu thanked Avani Lesotho for the donations. \u201cWe appreciate what Avani Lesotho has done today,\u201d he said. Mothepu said the donation will help in the rehabilitation of the offenders.<\/p>\n<p>Avani Lesotho Human Resource Manager Lesekelo Makara said they will view the centre as a national asset. Makara said they are happy that through the donations they will help the offenders to be fully rehabilitated and go back to the society with a positive attitude after their release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
