Educating the Next Generation: How Thuto and Leseli Drive SDG Progress in Lesotho

Educating the next generation is at the heart of Educational Business Services (EBS Lesotho). Through our Thuto and Leseli initiative, we are committed to empowering children, parents, and educators with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive—while contributing to Lesotho’s progress toward key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Thuto and Leseli’s Role in Environmental Education

Launched in 2023, the Thuto and Leseli initiative has become an innovative platform for educating the next generation about climate change and environmental responsibility.

For two years, our characters have used digital storytelling and visual illustrations to:

  • Raise awareness about climate change and its impacts

  • Promote the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

  • Encourage sustainable habits in both winter and summer

  • Support SDG 13: Climate Action

To close off the environmental series, we highlighted one of Lesotho’s inspiring eco-heroes: Nebulart Recycling Group, a local organisation dedicated to recycling, waste reduction, and building a cleaner environment for all.

2026 Focus: Literacy, Readership, and Educating the Next Generation

In 2026, Thuto and Leseli will shift their efforts toward literacy development—an essential pillar in educating the next generation. This new direction supports SDG 4: Quality Education, which ensures that every child has access to foundational learning and opportunities for growth.

Why Literacy Matters

Strong reading and writing skills are the building blocks of lifelong learning. Through the 2026 literacy drive, the initiative aims to:

  • Make reading materials more accessible to children aged 6–12

  • Promote a culture of reading at home and in schools

  • Encourage storytelling, imagination, and language development

  • Build confidence and comprehension skills among young learners

By fostering a love for books, Thuto and Leseli will help children better understand the world around them—and prepare them for future success.

Digital and Community Outreach for Better Literacy

At EBS, we believe that educating the next generation requires both digital access and real-world engagement.

Digital Literacy Campaign

Using bright, simple, and engaging content, Thuto and Leseli will continue to reach parents and educators online by sharing:

  • Reading tips and techniques

  • Book recommendations

  • Activities to encourage family reading time

  • Early literacy resources for young learners

Physical Outreach in 2026

To deepen impact, EBS is working on expanding physical outreach to connect with children in practical, meaningful ways. This includes:

  • Community activations

  • School visits

  • Collaborations with literacy practitioners

  • Partnerships with local reading programmes

We invite literacy organisations, educators, and partners across Lesotho to join us as we work toward educating the next generation through improved literacy and enriched learning environments.
