Water For Justice

Projects

Work For Justice: TRC has published Work for Justice quarterly since 1983. It deals in depth with current issues of development and democracy in Lesotho and the region. Recent newsletters have focused on elections, constitutional government, non-violent conflict resolution, migrant labour, education, health, the rights and roles of women in Lesotho, the Lesotho Highlands Water Project and issues of security, poverty and development. WFJ always carries suggestions for action and further reading. It is apolitical in position, and has firm root in the moral and spiritual teachings of Jesus. It is distributed widely in high schools and among university faculty and students.

Radio Programme: In November 2006, TRC launched a radio programme, whose aim is to spark debate and informed discussed on issues of national importance. The programme is produced independently by TRC and broadcast over Catholic Radio in Maseru every Monday from 7-8am. It serves as an advocacy tool to persuade and influence policy decisions at different levels of government. It also provides platform for public participation through active and informed debate. The programme, which has adopted a talk show format, hosts important guests who include members of parliament, university professors, political analysts, election experts, conflict managers, lawyers, local councillors; people affected by water and other development projects.
