Community health workers in rural Lesotho struggle to receive reliable compensation for essential healthcare services

Community health workers serving remote areas in Lesotho face delayed, inconsistent, or missing payments for critical healthcare delivery work, making it difficult to sustain their livelihoods and continue serving vulnerable populations. Traditional payment infrastructure fails in low-connectivity regions, and healthcare organizations lack efficient systems to compensate distributed frontline workers. This payment uncertainty directly undermines healthcare access in underserved communities.
