In an earnest gesture of community support, Lesotho PostBank donated nappies, soft foods, and household packages to the Mo-rate Cerebral Palsy Association of Lesotho (MCPAL), an organization dedicated to caring for children living with cerebral palsy across the nation. The handover ceremony took place on Friday, 2nd August 2024, at Memorial Hall in Maseru.
Speaking on behalf of Lesotho PostBank, Chief Sales Officer Ms. ‘Mathabo Tshehlo emphasized the Bank’s commitment to addressing the key needs of children with cerebral palsy. “We recognized the importance of donating nappies, soft foods, and household packages because these items are essential for the well-being of children living with this condition,” she said.
