Lesotho Red Cross Society (LRCS) – Supply of Protective Clothing for Cold Wave Anticipatory Action Programme
Background
The Lesotho Red Cross Society (LRCS), in collaboration with the International Federation of the Red Cross (IFRC), has launched an Anticipatory Action Programme aimed at mitigating the effects of cold waves.
The initiative targets areas within the Drakensberg, Moteng, Lebelonyane, and Thaba Putsoa passes, which are particularly vulnerable to extreme cold conditions.
The primary goal of this Anticipatory Action Programme is to reduce the adverse impacts of cold waves on affected communities. The programme will provide vital support to herders, vulnerable households, and schoolchildren who are most at risk during extreme weather events.
As part of this initiative, LRCS plans to distribute protective clothing to targeted groups to help shield them from severe cold conditions. These efforts are designed to alleviate immediate challenges caused by low temperatures and ensure that vulnerable populations have the necessary resources to stay warm and safe during cold wave events.
