Welcome

to the site of Eta Baithute, Basotho for 'Travel so they can learn'.

The aim of our foundation is to help the people in southern Africa with their education. More knowledge, more learning makes them able to shape their own future, to make progress. It starts with the little ones, but also grownups can really improve their situation by learning. Our projects are executed in Malealea, a valley with 15 villages in the heart of Lesotho. Beautiful nature, but also bitter poverty. Your donation is more than welcome, 95% or more will go directly to the people in Lesotho.

In Malealea we work with the Malealea Development Trustfund (MDT). They generate funds for e.g. school projects. The MDT collects all needs from the villages and judges them on probability and priority. Eta Baithute is one of the donor organizations that helps them with money. The projects have a small scale and are executed with the people in Malealea, with the people who benefit from the projects.

In the centre of the valley is a lodge where many tourists spent a few days. (LINK) A lot of activities are generated so a lot of people can earn a living or they add to the funds of the MDT.

All these efforts help the people in Malealea to work themselves out of their poverty. We started with one project, the building of a preschool in Ha Patela. We proceed with educational programmes so it is not just stones alone.
