About us

Newtoro - Lesotho Nationwide Mobile Library

Newtoro is a Lesotho-based non-profit organization dedicated to promoting literacy, learning, and cultural pride across the country. Through our mobile library and pop-up learning programs, we’ve delivered over 5,000 books to communities in all 10 districts of Lesotho. Our library brings free access to reading materials and skill-building resources, helping children fall in love with books, supporting youth with career tools, and creating safe, inspiring spaces for lifelong learning.

To sustain our mission, Newtoro also creates and sells paper products that celebrate Southern African languages and cultural heritage. Our journals, greeting cards, and gift bags are designed to preserve Indigenous expressions, spark curiosity, and keep traditions alive, especially for younger generations. Every purchase supports our library programs and helps spread the beauty and wisdom of African languages around the world.
