Lesotho, in collaboration with FNB Lesotho, UNICEF Lesotho, and the Ministry of
Education and Training, has launched an initiative aimed at supporting students
who did not achieve the expected results in their examinations.
The
programme, titled Ha U Felle Mona – Your Journey Does Not End Here,
was unveiled in Quthing as a practical intervention designed to help learners
rebuild confidence and continue pursuing their academic ambitions after
receiving disappointing exam results.
Through
the Vodacom Lesotho Foundation, the initiative will sponsor supplementary
examination fees for 50 learners sitting for the November 2026 examination
period. Beyond financial support, the programme also includes motivation and
encouragement sessions, as well as exposure to alternative educational and
career pathways intended to help learners stay focused on long-term goals.
Organisers
of the initiative say the intervention is designed to remove one of the key
barriers faced by students seeking to improve their academic outcomes, while
reinforcing the message that a single examination result does not determine a
learner’s future prospects.
The
partners emphasised that the programme reflects a shared commitment to youth
development and education support in Lesotho, with a focus on ensuring that
learners are not left behind due to temporary setbacks.
The
Ha U Felle Mona initiative underscores the belief that educational
journeys can be redirected and strengthened, even after challenges, with the
right support systems in place.
