The Shoeshoe ea Moshoeshoe Foundation is an initiative of Princess Senate Mohato Seeiso, committed to preserving the heritage, identity and dignity of the Basotho nation while promoting meaningful national development.
Speaking at the event, King Letsie III commended Princess Senate for her initiative saying she has demonstrated remarkable commitment from a young age.
He indicated that Princess Senate had pursued the initiative independently only approaching him and the Queen for advice when necessary.
The King said the Royal Family, close relatives and friends were proud of the young adult Princess Senate had become.
In her remarks, Princess Senate stated that the Foundation was established as a platform for creating meaningful national impact following her return from studies in Canada.
She said that the Foundation emerged from the spirit and achievements of Lesotho’s bicentennial celebrations which marked 200 years of the existence of the Basotho nation.
Princess Senate highlighted that the Foundation focuses on youth development, cultural preservation, education, mental wellness and sustainable community development across Lesotho.
She emphasised that the Foundation places particular importance on investing in people, especially young people as they are central to the future of Lesotho.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Mr. Ntsokoane Matekane who is also the founder of the SAM Matekane Foundation delineated that initiatives of this nature require transparency, accountability and dedication to ensure their sustainability.
He applauded the initiative saying it is going to contribute towards reducing youth unemployment which remains a major challenge facing Lesotho.
The funds raised during the launch were collected through individual pledges and donations.
