Preparations

SSB wished to keep the cost of using the Centre low, as many learners do not have much money. Learners’ contributions do cover the running cost of the Centre only. It was, therefore, decided to approach outside donors to fund the site and the building.

On 22^nd September1995 the SSB Building Fund Account was opened with the Postbank in The Netherlands, managed by Mrs Christine Oberman until mid – 2003, when Mrs Pauline Klöters took over. Friends and relatives were asked to support the project and to deposit their donations in the above-mentioned account.

The Postbank (Amsterdam) account number is 684 99 27 in the name of "Het Bouwfonds van Seliba Sa Boithuto".

On 19^th January 1999 the SSB Trust was been established in Lesotho, registered under file 25875 in the Deeds Registry, Maseru. The aim of the Trust was and is to help SSB to obtain its own facilities and to provide further support.

The Trust members are Prof. Dr ZA Matšela, who is also the Patron of SSB, Drs Gerard Mathot, Mrs Pam Pokane and Mr Tsepo Mosoeu. Mr Leuna Lechesa was also a Trustee until he passed away tragically in a car accident on 25^th February 2003.

The SSB Trust opened its own account at
Standard Bank – Lesotho, PO Box 115, Maseru 100, LESOTHO
SWIFT Code: SBISLSMX
Account number: 014/00/974 625/01
in the name of the Seliba Sa Boithuto Trust.
