📍Youth Power Hub Networking Pitso

Youth representatives from all 10 districts of Lesotho are gathered at the Manthabiseng Convention Centre for the Networking Pitso, bringing together young entrepreneurs, aspiring business owners, and youth leaders from both the formal and informal economy.

The dialogue focuses on innovative and inclusive financial solutions for sustainable livelihoods, with young people engaging duty bearers directly on access to finance, skills development, and entrepreneurship support.

Panel Discussion:
Young entrepreneurs with established, working businesses shared their journeys, challenges, milestones, funding opportunities accessed, and the gaps their businesses are solving. Key challenges highlighted include high collateral requirements, limited financial literacy, and risk-averse financial systems.

Unified youth call:
Financial systems must be inclusive and responsive to young people’s realities.

Youth unemployment remains a national priority, and today’s discussions place access to finance at the centre of youth livelihood strategies, aligned with Lesotho’s employment and inclusive growth objectives.

Endless Empowerment actively participated in the dialogue.
