Meet Our Board & Partners

A non-profit cultural & educational institution established in 1956 which belongs to Lesotho Evangelical Church in Southern Africa, Morija Museum & Archives (MMA) is dedicated to developing programmes and activities related to history, heritage, and community-based tourism, the arts, and culture, as well as science and the environment.

 

MMA is a pioneer in this regard, building upon the long-established traditions of creativity, innovation and excellence that have made Morija a major educational and cultural centre in Lesotho over the past two centuries. A small institution with a big heart, MMA’s programmes and activities have impacted widely across Lesotho.

 

Partnerships are very important to Morija Museum & Archives. They enable us to develop the museum, extend our reach and deliver a range of benefits to the community.
