The Youth Career Assistant was founded in 2013 as an association of the youth committed to career development assistance, personal branding and professional enrichment. Youth Career Assistant is registered under the Societies Act, with REG NUMBER: 2014/98.
It adheres to the Lesotho’s Vision 2020 and Millennium Development Goals.
It is committed to facilitation of creative ways to increase the success of others by equipping them to do what they love and create dream careers.
Youth Career Assistant relies on the adage that each of us has been blessed with a calling, it shall rally the youth to play an active role in the determination of what their call is so that they can lead a more encouraged and meaningful life. In so doing, the Youth Career assistant shall strive to achieve fundamental social change for the benefit of all young people, students and the working class.
It shall endeavour to unite the youth of our country to take their rightful place in the activities of the country to develop and implement strategies for decent and productive work for the youth.
Lesotho is small but very mountainous, making travel difficult for people living in remote villages. Thus, while the need for HIV services and education exist, BCMCF-L faces significant challenges in reaching those people. The SCOEs help decentralize health care and serve as a catalyst to build its outreach programs, Teen Clubs and educational efforts.
BCMCF-L plans to expand its psychosocial services for all ages, especially adolescents. By 2014, Teen Club had grown to include over 900 HIV-positive adolescents. Caring Fathers, a support group for men who have HIV-infected family members, encourages men to get tested, access treatment, and support their families. Unique among the BIPAI network, Lesotho also provides comprehensive medical evaluation of children released for adoption from orphanages.
