## **From the Chair**
**I am delighted to introduce the 21/22 Annual report for Dolen Cymru Lesotho. Our projects covering a variety of disciplines have progressed well. Our partners in Lesotho are taking more responsibility for the nature and operation of work supported through Dolen Cymru Lesotho. We have maintained Wales involvement largely on line for another year. Our new look website has been well received and is communicating better to our supporters in Lesotho, Wales and beyond.**
**This will be the last report produced by our Executive Director, Veronica German. She took on the role in 2012 at a time of financial insecurity. Since then, the charity has been successful in obtaining numerous grants for a variety of projects as well as maintaining a supporter base. We remain a friendship organisation but are also recognised as a committed facilitator in effective partnership working. We have embraced new relationships with overseas partners, new ways of working including digital, and continued to support global awareness in Welsh schools. None of this would have materialised without Veronica’s development of a talented operational team and determination to fight Dolen’s corner in an increasingly competitive environment of overseas partnership working. We are very grateful for her insight, leadership and tenacity. I have heard feedback from our projects first hand and witnessed the enthusiasm and passion of our partners. I know our new Co-directors to be experienced and full of ideas. We will be setting up a new Advisory Group based in Lesotho. Dolen Cymru Lesotho is in a good place to continue to contribute to wellbeing and the seizing of opportunities in both Lesotho and Wales. Watch this space!**
**Paul Myres** Chair, Board of Trustees
## **A word from our Executive Director**
As we emerged from the pandemic the last year, with a few false starts, our work continued to resume and grow again. A huge thanks to all the staff and volunteers in both Wales and Lesotho who kept going through the difficult times.
A wide range of programmes have been supported in the last year, from the Lesotho Rugby Academy to work with vulnerable children and women to build up resilience and address gender based violence. School linking projects continued even though visits could not take place with some amazing online work and collaborations where it was great to see over 400 trees planted. Now we look forward to the exchanges on the Taith programme funded by Welsh Government. Our literacy , mentoring and numeracy work continues to take great strides and it is really exciting to be working with Jolly Futures on phonics teaching.
Thanks to all our supporters for your continued generosity and a special thanks to our intrepid fund raisers last year.
I am so pleased to see how our partnership work has grown over the last few years. This is reflected in the number of trustees and staff based in Lesotho. Which is continuing to grow.
This is my last Annual Report, after 11 years I am retiring from this role. It hasn’t always been easy but it has definitely been an amazing experience! The beautiful Mountain Kingdom will always have a place in my heart.

Partnership wor
**Lesotho Rugby Academy(LRA)** Back in 2020, Dolen Cymru and the LRA secured a Small Charities Challenge Fund grant to scale-up a pilot project aimed at tackling social problems in Lesotho through a 10-week national rugby programme, the Lesotho Rugby Academy (LRA).
Delivered to young boys and girls in schools across Lesotho over 30 months, in the poorest and most vulnerable areas of the country, trained coaches attended the schools each week, to deliver two-hour sessions with 30-70 children.

Critically, alongside the sports coaching, important group discussions were planned around key life skills and topics such as gender equality, good nutrition, and the prevention of HIV and AIDS.
## **LRA** Gender Equality and Inclusion
**----- Start of picture text -----**
Sport
promotes mutual
respect, tolerance
and understanding
across all age
groups and
genders.
**----- End of picture text -----**
Sport is one of the most powerful platforms for promoting gender equality and empowering women and girls. The LRA is making a positive contribution in rugby to support girls to achieve at all levels.
Equality and encouraging inclusion is the central message of the LRA and students from Mount Royal High School with hearing impairments were offered a safe, enjoyable and positive rugby experience. Working with the teachers, the coaches adapted the lessons and methods of delivery to overcome communication barriers.
_Teachers have commented on how being a part of the programme has ‘transformed the learners’_
**LRA** Inspiring the next generation
The LRA believes in the power of sport as a vehicle for driving positive solutions to important social issues in Lesotho. We have enabled boys and girls to engage with rugby at many different levels – from recreational to elite.
**Tsebo Mokhahlane, teacher at Mazenod High School.** _**‘Ever since rugby programmes have been introduced in my school, we have seen our learner changing their behaviour and focussing more this time. They are now able to work as a team more than before.’**_
Going forward, we hope that the successes of this funded Scale Up Project will give us an even stronger platform upon which to seek further funding to continue to improve the life chances of the young people in Lesotho.
_Now that I’m a coach with the LRA I would love to be the best like my coach. I would like to change people’s life and be the best as I am!”_ **Coach Alex**
## **Catch up & wellbeing**
Learners in Lesotho have been badly affected by the COVID pandemic. As part of our COVID adaptation grant from Wales and Africa we have created radio shows for home learning. These include shows on Jolly Phonics, My Hero is You and Actions for Heroes.
## **Link to YouTube**
This programme came to a close in March 2022. The weekly ‘Well-being Wednesday” activities proved to be immensely popular and a highly successful online webinar in October 2022 was attended by over 60 teachers across Lesotho.
## **Resilience Project**
April 2022 saw the start of Dolen’s second Well-being Project concentrating on resilience for learners. It includes: 1. _**Reducing the learning gap**_ - through extra curricular clubs in Morija.
2. _**Developing a resilience skills toolkit**_ to be used with learners transitioning from Primary to High school. This will be piloted with schools in Matsieng.
3. _**Teacher Training**_ on how to use the toolkit and promote youth leadership for well-being and resilience.
Following on from the successful translation and broadcast of the ‘My Hero is You’ book during 2020, the next ‘My Hero is You 2021’ was translated, printed for schools and three radio shoes were aired during the school holidays. Funding for this was supplemented by donations from the Christmas appeal.
## **Resilience Project in action**
Well-being webinars aimed at teachers were held in April, August and October, reaching over 60 teachers to help them support their learners as they returned to the learning environment following lockdown.
The project supported weekly Skills and Soup sessions with Morija Hub reaching 100 learners living in Morija and surrounding villages, many of whom live in poverty, and some of whom have experienced gender-based violence and domestic abuse.
The aims of this work include lowering the incidence of genderbased violence through life skills and mental health programming which educates participants about the definitions of abuse and where to find help if they are being abused.
## **Resilience Project in action**
Working with partners is key to this project. As well as Morija Hub this work is delivered through a small NGO called ‘Heal Our Land Organisation’ or HOLO based in Matsieng.
HOLO runs a weekly MEC (Motivation and Education Club) for 60 learners in the Matsieng area. Some of the participants walk for many kilometers to attend the club.
Learners who have been identified with social or psycho-social needs are referred to the club by their teachers.
## **Women’s Empowerment**
This project came from a group of women lawyers in Lesotho and is funded by Hub Cymru Africa.
Its aim was to develop policing that is sensitive to the needs of women and empower more women to take a stand against and report cases of Gender Based violence.
Following an in depth research exercise a plan was devised to deliver training to law enforcement officers, local community leaders, village health workers and survivors
**Women’s Empowerment** Strengthening Law Enforcement Capacity for Gender-based Violence Response in Lesotho
The two districts which had the highest level of Gender Based Violence, Mafeteng and Berea. Were chosen for the training
Training covered the Law and Human Rights related to GBV; sex, gender and consent; psycho social support for survivors.
Village Health Workers (VHWs) and survivors learned about Safe Spaces and activities that can help.
## **Supporting Partners**
Mental Health First Aid Betsi Quthing Partnership
Supporting the understanding of mental ill health has been a core component of Dolen Cymru Lesotho’s work in Lesotho. We supported our colleagues in the Besti Quthing Partnership with the delivery of a Mental Health First Aid Project.
The project was aimed at equipping key community health leaders and those health workers who have had no mental health training, with the understanding and skills to identify people with possible mental health problems and mental illness.
# **Lesotho Teacher Placement Programme and Phonics Literacy**
## **Online work continued**
_Dolen Cymru Lesotho Education conference with presenters from Lesotho and Wale covered a wide range of topics including – Mentoring & Coaching, Catch up clubs, Jolly phonics including train the trainer and Sesotho phonics, school linking and the SDGs and Walk the Global Walk_
One positive to come out of the Covid lockdown was the increase in online activities in both Lesotho and Wales. This continued into the 2021-22 year. Our online Education Conference was held in November 2021 with over 50 attendees and even more views online.
Links with the Lesotho College of Education (LCE) continued as part of the International Education Programme (IEP). IN 2021 online Maths sessions took place with Year 3 students, High School teachers and lecturers in Thaba Tseka.
Four lecturers developed our Mentoring and Coaching course to deliver to local school and the Maseru LCE campus staff.
## **Teacher placements**
Three Welsh volunteers have been recruited to visit Lesotho in March 2023 as part of the Lesotho Teacher Placement (LTPP). The Wales Teacher Placement Programme part of the International Education Programme (IEP) brings Basotho teachers to Wales. Four Basotho volunteers have been recruited to visit Wales in June 2023 as part of WTPP
_Teacher Khosi at Ninian Park PS_ Khosi Mofolisa came to Wales in July 2022 where students at Ninian Park Primary School had a fantastic time trying on traditional Lesotho blankets and ‘mokorotlo’ hats.
_Cardiff Flying start share ideas_
Learning from Cardiff Flying Start how they are helping children to kick start learning at the early stage. Lessons to be shared with colleagues in Lesotho.

## **School linking**
**Watch the video on YouTube**
_Fantastic new resources have been made for schools linked with Lesotho exploring a number of the Sustainable Development Goals_
December 2021 saw CCGL projects conclude with over 400 trees planted in Lesotho and celebrated via Zoom with 40 schools and over 75 views
Earth Day activities were led online with Awel Aman Taw, Egni Coop and Africa’s Gift with over 500 pupils in Wales joining with schools in Lesotho to discuss SDG13 and SDG7 and come together to be global energy warriors.
_“Taith is Wales’ new international learning exchange programme, creating life-changing opportunities to travel, volunteer, learn and experience.”_
Dolen’s new TAITH funded project Thinking the World began in July 2022. This will explore SDG 3, 11 and 13 across school partnerships between Wales and Lesotho with schools in North Wales, Pembrokeshire, Cardiff & Carmarthenshire.
36 teachers from 20 schools have been recruited to take part in both Wales and Lesotho. This includes 8 schools taking part in country visits with students travelling to their partner schools. Pre departure training and support to participant schools is being delivered by Dolen Cymru Lesotho, with dedicated information on Padlet.

## **Thank you**
As with all charities, raising funds has not been easy. However, we have to thank our regular donors and those who responded to specific appeals for their generosity.
- **‘Give a child a book for Christmas’ Appeal**
Children in Lesotho have loved listening to and reading My Hero is You a special book produced by the UN to help children through the COVID-19 pandemic. Last Christmas our appeal was to raise funds to translate and produce the stories for Basotho children. Thanks to kind donations hundreds of books were printed and distributed to schools. You can read the book here

## **Independent Examiner's Report To The Trustees Of Dolen Cymru - Wales Lesotho Link**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31st March 2022, which are set out on pages 2 - 10.
## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report**
As the Charity's trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purpose of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the '2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent Examiner's Report**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
(1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
- (2) the accounts do not accord with those accounting records; or
- (3) the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
(4) the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended practice for the accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

**Statements of Trustees' Responsibilities**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial accounts;
- prepare the financial accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
