Meet Sekantsi - a local business owner based in Ha Thetsane here in Lesotho. 

Sekantsi runs her own construction company, Sekhantsi Holdings. Her story shows that with courage and determination; women can achieve anything. 

We know that women's economic empowerment is essential to achieving women's rights and gender equality. That's why we're interested in sharing the stories of Basotho women who are actively participating in and benefiting from decent work. Sekantsi is the first of many we'll be highlighting.
