Resources are scarce – a consequence of the harsh environment of the highland plateau and limited agricultural space in the lowlands.

The former British protectorate has been heavily dependent on the country which completely surrounds it – South Africa.

Over the decades thousands of workers have been forced by the lack of job opportunities to find work at South African mines.

And the Lesotho Highlands Water Project was completed in the 1990s to export water to South Africa.[/fusion_text][fusion_text]The Beautiful Lesotho You Have to Visit to Appreciate[/fusion_text][fusion_separator style_type=”single solid” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” sep_color=”#ffffff” top_margin=”” bottom_margin=”” border_size=”40″ icon=”” icon_circle=”” icon_circle_color=”” width=”” alignment=”center” /][fusion_youtube id=”” width=”” height=”” autoplay=”false” api_params=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” /][fusion_separator style_type=”single solid” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” sep_color=”#ffffff” top_margin=”” bottom_margin=”” border_size=”40″ icon=”” icon_circle=”” icon_circle_color=”” width=”” alignment=”center” /][fusion_text]
