The Butterfly Sanctuary

We are a youth-led group comprised of girls and young mothers in Maseru, Lesotho, that seeks to empower marginalized girls within schools and the wider community.

The Butterfly Sanctuary is a Non-governmental organisation that was started by a team of development experts that sought address the plight of young mothers and vulnerable girls within the districts in Lesotho.

A world where every girl has the opportunity to achieve her fullest potential

Because of the high poverty rate, Lesotho faces increased vulnerability to multiple issues. The HIV/AIDS rate is 25%, and early pregnancies and marriages make up 19%. Unemployment impacts 33% of the population. Worries include high school dropout rates and gender-based violence (GBV) cases, with 68% happening among young mothers. This emphasizes our mission at the Butterfly Sanctuary Organization: tackling these concerns for the most at-risk age group, empowering them as essential contributors to the nation.
