Family Reunion

Itumeleng, Tseliso and Thabo—siblings who have lived with us at Ministry of Hope Lesotho for four years—are now home with their mother.

The family reunion came about after their mother (a single mother) received sufficient support from her mother, brother and sister to provide a financially secure home for the children.

In Lesotho, connections to family, and to a home village, are vital to a child’s well-being. We delight in reuniting a child with family who can provide financial and emotional stability.

When a family does not have the means to support a child, we still seek to nurture those important family ties. Over the past year, we have located relatives for six of our children and youth. Although these relatives cannot take full-time responsibility for the children, they gather frequently, and the children are thriving from their renewed connection to family.
