Working Together to Bring Water to Lesotho
Success Story. Governments and organizations from the United States, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East are working hand-in-hand to provide clean water to homes and businesses in Lesotho'a prime example of donor coordination that will ultimately benefit the Basotho people. The Metolong Dam Water Supply Program is one of the country's largest infrastructure programs since independence in 1966 and aims to provide a reliable source of water to nearly 125,000 people. The roughly $400 million project is becoming a reality in part because of the Millennium Challenge Corporation's five-year, $363 million compact with Lesotho.
