In Lesotho, a US Peace Corps volunteer, Sasha, teaches children about HIV prevention, essential in a country with a high infection rate. Following Donald Trump's halt on US foreign aid, HIV prevention programs have been suspended, putting critical health services at risk. Many local families are left uncertain about the availability of life-saving medications, with concern over accessible care growing. The stop-work order has led to significant job losses, impacting development efforts both locally and globally, raising doubts about the future of international assistance.
Lesotho, which has the second-highest level of HIV infection globally, faces severe challenges to its HIV prevention efforts due to a halt in US foreign aid.
The executive order affects over 12,000 USAid employees and has broader implications, resulting in an estimated 100,000 job losses in international development.
