Three years ago, Sebabatso was launched not as an event, but as a promise to transform the aspirations of Basotho youth into tangible businesses, innovations, and livelihoods. Today, that promise has evolved into a movement reshaping Lesotho’s economic and social landscape.
Over 3,000 applications have been received from youth across the country. Hundreds have participated in intensive bootcamps, and many now run businesses that create jobs for their peers. Participants have developed technology solutions, expanded agricultural ventures, and entered new markets. These achievements demonstrate that Basotho youth are already delivering measurable change.
Sebabatso focuses on continuity and long-term impact. The programme ensures that every Mosotho youth has access to mentorship, skills training, and business support. Partners including UNDP, Econet, LNDC, the Central Bank, and the People’s Republic of China contribute resources such as scholarships, internet access, and incubation services. Their involvement reflects confidence in the potential of Basotho youth rather than charity.
The government emphasizes that Sebabatso is results-driven. Success is measured by businesses launched, jobs created, and ideas transformed into livelihoods. This approach aims to tackle youth unemployment with concrete platforms rather than promises.
Youth are encouraged to seize the opportunities Sebabatso offers. The programme provides a stage to develop solutions, launch enterprises, and generate economic impact. The government urges all citizens to support young entrepreneurs by buying their products, promoting their services, and engaging with their initiatives.
Sebabatso represents more than a government programme; it is a national mission. Through innovation, resilience, and strategic support, Lesotho is building a generation of leaders who are shaping today’s economy and securing the nation’s future.
