The Kome Caves are a series of mud caves built in the early 19th century. However, despite the descendants of the original inhabitants still occupying the dwellings, the site suffers from low tourism due to a lack of facilities.

This project aims to sustainably unlock the Caves’ economic potential by increasing tourism, job creation, and revenue generation. Specifically, solar panels will be provided as soft loans to five families in the community, which will enhance overall energy access. The project will also repair the traditional Basotho huts that can be used to provide accommodations for visiting tourists.

Members of the community will be provided hospitality training, which will enhance tourism opportunities and increase revenue. Sustainable transport partnerships with local communities will support the project by ensuring tourists are provided safe passage to the site. Cultural preservation, sustainable energy, environmental care, and tourism impact mitigation will be priorities. This holistic approach ensures community involvement and responsible tourism practices that foster conservation and socio-economic development
