UNICEF Partners with Lesotho Ministry to Empower Youth Through Digital Learning
The two-day interactive initiative aims to familiarize youth, particularly from herder communities and other marginalized groups, with the opportunities offered by YOMA.
UNICEF is collaborating with the Ministry of Gender, Youth and Social Development to introduce the YOMA platform to young people in Semonkong. The outreach is part of the Ministry’s Youth Market Day, officially launched by Deputy Principal Secretary Mr. Thae Makhele.
The two-day interactive initiative aims to familiarize youth, particularly from herder communities and other marginalized groups, with the opportunities offered by YOMA. The platform provides accessible pathways for learning, skills development, and livelihood opportunities that are often out of reach for young people in remote areas.
Through digital learning, work-readiness activities, and personal development tools, YOMA seeks to bridge gaps in access to formal training and employment networks. The program strengthens youth capacity and supports efforts to promote inclusive economic participation among communities with limited exposure to such opportunities.
This outreach builds on the national launch of YOMA by the Honourable Minister of Gender, Youth and Social Development, Pitso Lesaoana, earlier this week, marking a continued commitment to empowering Lesotho’s youth through digital and skills development initiatives.
