New week new blog. This week, I would like to encourage people to pray for Lesotho. Lesotho is a small landlocked country, completely surrounded by South Africa in. due to its size and position. It is very dependent on South Africa. With many migrating to work in South Africa, particularly, South African mines. Politically Lesotho is a democracy, generally, elections have passed off relatively peacefully. Lesotho has one of the highest rates of HIV in the world. They are taking steps to stop the spread of HIV. However, at the moment, the life expectancy in Lesotho has fallen from 60 years to 35 years. This has brought with it the associated problems of orphans and the elderly left to bring up grandchildren. At present, under the constitution women are regarded as minors, under the guardianship of male relatives.
Ideas for Prayers.
• That democracy would continue within Lesotho
• For the rights of women.
• The child headed households, due to the AIDS epidemic.
• For a continuation of the education into the prevention of HIV and AIDS.
