0:02:42 > 0:02:43- They're in a terrible situation.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- But you remain positive, - you have to remain positive...
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- ..and you try and help - in any way possible.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19- ..with people going about - their business.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- You could argue there are no - obvious or visible signs...
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- ..of the famine here in the city.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- But if you go in that direction, - out into the countryside...
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- ..the effects of food shortages - can be painfully seen.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38- We're aiming for Thaba Tseka...

0:03:42 > 0:03:46- It's a four hour journey along - a windy, mountain road.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- But you don't have to go far - into the countryside...
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- ..to see the effects - of the drought.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- This field tells you everything - in all honesty.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- If you look around you, you can see - that the plants have failed.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- The crops have failed.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- They're completely dry as a result - of the drought.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- 80% of Lesotho's population - depend on agriculture...
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- ..for their livelihood.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- This is a bleak picture for them...
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- ..and the situation is - only going to get worse.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30- At a school in Thaba Tseka we - met the chairman of Dolen Cymru...
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- ..a body that promotes the link - between Wales and Lesotho.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Gareth Morgans is here on a visit.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- This school in Thaba Tseka - has about 500 pupils.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- They come from rural areas.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- Some of them walk many miles - to attend school.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- Many of them are orphans.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- They have lost their mother, father - or both parents to disease...
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- ..HIV and Aids. - They come from poor homes.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- The school, in a way, is a safe - haven for them, it anchors them.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05- They eat breakfast and lunch here, - so they get two meals a day here.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- They also get an education.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- At the schools, the World Food - Programme works with...
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- ..the Lesotho Government - to finance a food aid operation.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- This child here, - he's got some porridge.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23- And...
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- He obviously enjoys his food...
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- ..but maybe he'll only get - one meal today.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- And maybe that will be in school.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- There's no knowing - what he'll get at home.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Nobody knows. - Maybe he won't have anything.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Many of the children here only eat - when they're in school.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- I'll leave him - to eat his breakfast in peace.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- Where is your classroom? - Over here, is it?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- Mpeo is a 12-year-old pupil.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- She's being raised - by her grandmother.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- Her mother has left - to look for work.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01- Sometimes we eat - but sometimes we do not eat.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- But a food shortage isn't the only - problem these children face.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18- Other basic resources are lacking - that lead to the spread of disease.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- Hygiene is a huge problem - in Lesotho.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Drought exacerbates the situation.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- There isn't any water - in the school toilets.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Neither are there any - hand washing facilities.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- Due to the effects of the drought, - it's an area...
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- ..where the income levels of nearly - half the population...
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- ..are dangerously low according - to the UN.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Humanitarian charities - are warning...
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- ..the drought's severity - isn't always apparent.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- When you drive up from the capital - to the mountains...
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- ..it's all green.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- The fields and trees are green.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58- It looks beautiful.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- But when you get closer - to the mountains...
0:07:01 > 0:07:06- ..and when you talk to people, - you realize that a sack of maize...
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- ..that used to cost five maloti - now costs 50 maloti.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- Local people can't afford that.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- A stone's throw from the school, - one can immediately see...
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- ..how the drought - has effected an area...
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- ..that's so dependent - on agriculture.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- In this village just like several - villages in Lesotho...
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- ..the animals use the same - water source as the villagers.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- The water is very scarce.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Look at the tap behind us where - people collect their water.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- Only the smallest drop of water - can be had from that tap.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- The lives of these people - are fragile anyway...
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- ..and this situation - is just making things worse.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Balloons.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Catrin Hughes from Llanafan - near Aberystwyth...
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- ..has been teaching in Thaba Tseka - since the start of the year.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- She's one of five Welsh teachers - working in Lesotho...
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- ..as part of a - Dolen Cymru project.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10- Mum and Dad went shopping.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- The rains came much too late - for them in the summer.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- The rains should have come - in November.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- But they came in mid-January, - when we came out here.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- As a result, there's less crops.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- They've stopped planting so they'll - see the effects of that in winter.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- They're not prepared for it as they - don't know it's going to happen.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- Prices will increase then.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- That's when it will effect them.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- Many of Thaba Tseka's children have - lost their parents...
0:08:41 > 0:08:46- ..to the HIV Aids crisis that's - swamped the country for 20 years.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- That was the reason why I came out - to Lesotho in 2005.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- With 23% of the population - now infected with HIV...
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- ..not much has changed.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- What's sad is, I was talking - to a teacher...
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- ..we were walking home, and we - were talking about the drought...
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- ..and the fact this country has the - world's second highest HIV rates.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- He said, "We just pray, we hope God - will change things".
0:09:11 > 0:09:15- Faith is all well and good - but they have to realize...
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- ..that things like HIV are - matters they have to change.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- But, no, I can't see the situation - improving any time soon.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- The average life expectancy - of a person in Lesotho is 49.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- Humanitarian agencies warn - that health problems...
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- ..and food shortages will put the - lives of people of all ages...
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- ..in danger when winter comes.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- I think the cold is the worst.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- We'll leave just before winter, - hopefully.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- But we feel it getting colder now.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- It will be too cold for them - to come to school.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- It makes you wonder how many - will survive the winter.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- As one who's been coming to Lesotho - for five decades...
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- ..Gwenallt Rees knows how hard - it is to bring...
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- ..the country's problems - to the global stage.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- It's a small country.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- A small, obscure country - in one meaning...
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- ..because - it doesn't have any oil...
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- ..it doesn't have any the resources - the world looks at and goes...
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- .."This is a rich country - which has a lot to offer".
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- It's a small country, it's a - resource-poor country.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34- As a result, it doesn't get the - world-wide attention on TV.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- It's as if Lesotho doesn't garner - any attention...
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- ..because it doesn't have the - status nor importance...
0:10:41 > 0:10:42- ..in the world's eye.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47- One of the areas that's been - badly affected by the drought...
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- ..is Mafeteng, - in the country's lowlands.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Unicef took us to a village - that's suffering...
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- ..as a result of the drought.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- In such areas, people have to - travel far and wide for water.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- The trip can be dangerous - especially for girls...
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- ..who are often on their own.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- Going those long distances, - these girls can face...
0:11:09 > 0:11:14- ..being attacked, some of them get - raped, some of them get beaten up.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- There's a lot of violence - on the route.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20- The distances are very long - and sometimes you don't have...
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- ..somebody to go with or - it's just a couple of girls...
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- ..and things tend to happen.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- The UN says 500,000 people, - a quarter of the population...
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- ..are in danger due - to a lack of food and nutrition.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- But this could increase - over the next three months.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- It could reach 800,000.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- We're appealing to - the international community...
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- ..for support as soon as possible - so that we can address...
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- ..some of these issues and begin to - mitigate for the future and help...
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- ..the population build resilience - in terms of addressing...
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- ..further emergency shocks.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- Mavis is 60 years old and is - one of around 25,000 people...
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- ..who receive financial help - from Unicef to raise children.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09- She has no other income and the - grandmother is infected with HIV.
0:12:10 > 0:12:15- The main thing that gives me - sleepless nights...
0:12:15 > 0:12:20- ..is poverty.
0:12:20 > 0:12:31- I have suffered for a long time...
0:12:31 > 0:12:42- ..because my daughter died - when the boys...
0:12:42 > 0:12:50- ..were six and eight years old, - so I have raised the children.
0:12:50 > 0:12:56- I can only do my best - for the boys.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Is Mavis' story a familiar story - in Lesotho?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- I'm afraid it is.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- A grandmother looking after - orphaned children...
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- ..whose parents have died, - is such a common story.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- It strikes one in three children - in the country.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- You can see the scale of it.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- But here in the Mafeteng area...
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- ..it's even more serious - than in the other areas.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- The world is starting to respond - to Lesotho's problems...
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- ..but after the break we'll be - asking, will it be enough?
0:13:33 > 0:13:33- .

0:13:43 > 0:13:46- Thousands of acres of crops - have failed due to drought...
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- ..for a second consecutive year.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- It's an emergency and there may be - famine on the horizon.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- For decades, this clinic has - treated HIV Aids patients.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- It's been difficult - but now there's a new challenge...
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- ..with fears people could starve.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Her dream was to have a clinic.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- We didn't tell her anything - and kept the secret quiet.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- We went back to Y Tabernacl...
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- ..and as soon as they heard - the word "clinic"...
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- ..they decided this would be - the project for so many years.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- He's going back to find out - whether they could cope...
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- ..with a crisis that's threatening - to become a disaster.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24- And, really, we are successful...

0:15:31 > 0:15:35- Up to 200,000 has been raised - to maintain the centre...

0:15:56 > 0:16:02- Caselin, who has been running the - clinic since the beginning, and me.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- Everything, every single thing - in this clinic...
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- ..has been donated by people - from Wales.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- Every table, every light, - this machine.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- This cost around 500.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20- Money from Wales paid for them.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- This might not look like a surgery - at home to you and me...
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- ..but this is the reality of things - for people in this community.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- The fear now is the drought - will put pressure...
0:16:32 > 0:16:36- ..on the clinic's resources - according to the doctor.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- Yeah, we are worried.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43- Because we know diarrhoea, - what it does.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44- We will die.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- If the situation doesn't improve...
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- ..we are like Ethiopia.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- The drought has affected many - countries across Southern Africa...
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- ..but the picture doesn't always - tell the story.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- It's known as the green drought.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13- When you think of drought, - you think of barren land, dust...
0:17:13 > 0:17:18- ..you certainly don't think of - grass and greenery like this.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22- But this picture - might be misleading.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24- Let me explain.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- I'm standing on the river bed.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29- I should be underwater now...
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- ..and the level of the water - should be a long way over my head.
0:17:35 > 0:17:40- Our journey takes us to Berea, - some 15 miles from the capital.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- A local charity is trying to - bring communities together...
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- ..with new ideas.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- These women keep chickens - for eggs and meat.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- But staying alive - is a constant battle.
0:17:54 > 0:18:00- How important is help from other - places in the world for Lesotho?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- We need it much...
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- ..especially this year.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06- Because of the drought?

0:18:09 > 0:18:14- With crops failing across the - country, the Send A Cow charity...
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- ..is encouraging people to - grow vegetables in gardens.

0:18:20 > 0:18:24- ..to sustain a family of eight, - including a nine-month-old baby.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29- I'm very worried about the effect - of the drought.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34- There are periods when we go days - without food.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- It's very sad, the whole family - has to go to bed...
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- ..without having a meal.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44- The owner of this garden - has a difficult life.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48- She's the only one who works, the - only wage earner for the family.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- Over the winter, they're totally - reliant on the garden.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56- The question is, - will that be enough for them?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- A few miles away, - in the Mafeteng lowlands...
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- ..the effect of the drought - is painfully clear.

0:19:39 > 0:19:43- I am facing a great famine.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- Maybe the government should - provide money and food.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48- You have a hard life.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- You have a hard life.- - Yes, a very fragile life.

0:19:58 > 0:20:02- The man is clearly very ill. - He was very fragile.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06- I just think, and you have - to ask the question...
0:20:06 > 0:20:10- ..will the help arrive - too late for him?
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- At the moment, James is fed - by the World Food Programme.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- But that help will stop - at the end of the month.

0:20:48 > 0:20:52- As we can see here, - the entire landscape is green.

0:21:29 > 0:21:34- ..that we as Lesotho are facing - a national calamity.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51- The international community - has to act fast...
