Lesotho: Drought

Lesotho is grappling with a severe food security crisis, made worse by El Niño weather pattern, which is disrupting the critical 2024/25 summer planting and rainy season. Persistent crop failures, dwindling food production, water shortages, and skyrocketing food prices have severely hit the country’s agricultural production with 41% of rural households now forced to spend more than half of their income just to put food on the table.

Through this Emergency Appeal, the Lesotho Red Cross Society will support 87,381 individuals (17,473 households) facing the most severe levels of food insecurity to sustain their livelihoods, build resilience and recover from the ongoing food crisis.

Please donate now and join us in making a meaningful difference for the people supported by the Lesotho Red Cross Society in this response.
