A few snaps from our last visit of Lesotho and Swaziland. Two tiny nations in the south of Africa, one more beautiful than the other. Back in 2024 we took a trip with @jakokarlik and @vseta to research for the new planned project in Lesotho. We then continued to meet @stepanbares and @lof_mann in Swaziland where we visited the skatepark that we finished in 2023. NOW WE ARE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE, that in exactly three months from now we shall start the construction of the skatepark in Lesotho and @lof_mann with @stepanbares will be there again with us. A short documentary from SWAZILAND dropping next week! Stay tuned! LOVE, SWB Photo: @louze______fotky #africa #skate #skateboarding #swb #skatepark by @skateworldbetter

@skateworldbetter is a non-profit organization building skateparks around Africa They’re on a mission to support kids and young adults in Africa through skateboarding. In partnership with @bonidee_skateparks Skate World Better was founded in Copenhagen as a university project in 2019. After the successful completion of the first two projects in Mozambique, they relocated to Prague. They delivered a skatepark in Zambia in 2021, and have since done the same in Ethiopia and Eswatini. They have a new project in Lesotho and a couple more that are coming. by @skateworldbetter
This is Lesotho. For many it may be a country somewhere in Africa, or perhaps a country you have never heard of, so here is a little information. Lesotho is a land locked country, completely surrounded by South Africa. It sits high in the mountains so it is one of the few countries with a regular snowfall. You know what is rather bizzare? Lesotho has a snowpark, but it does not have a skatepark which is why act. The local community in Maseru, the capital city, is united under @lesotho_skateboarding hosting many talented riders. Their only spot is a huge concrete slab (watch the video closely), so we’ve used it as an inspiration to our design. We plan to build a streetlike skatepark, resembling their “white spot”. With many kids in the city, we chose the Lepereng district in the capital for the future skatepark. It is accessible by all, close to the center, open to public and maintained by the olympic committee of Lesotho. Building a skatepark in Lesotho is a multi-year strategy of ours as it is in a close proximity to the centers in Swaziland and Mozambique. Their interaction is what we aim for. Less than 10 months to go, Lesotho will soon have its first skatepark. Let’s go! Photo: @louze______fotky #africa #skate #skateboarding #swb #skatepark by @skateworldbetter
THIS IS LESOTHO. 🇱🇸 Building a skatepark in Lesotho has always been our plan. Long time back have we fallen in love with the immense beauty of the country and when acknowledging the quality of the local skateboarding community, the plan was on! A general ambition of this project is a deeper connection of the centers in Mozambique, Swaziland and the Kingdom of Lesotho. Geographically, they are in close proximity and their deeper cooperation is therefore a multi-year strategy of the Skate World Better initiative. Back in 2024 we have ventured to Lesotho, to meet, to measure, to plan and to decide. We put together a plan of the skatepark delivery and we have initiated the funding collection. It is for @bonidee_skateparks and the @theskateroom that we have already allocated the entire budget and thus we are ready to venture to the first project ever that will be paid for almost entirely from our own pocket. In the coming post we will present to you the local skateboarding federation @lesotho_skateboarding This one will be epic (yet again) See more on our website. LOVE, SWB.

Happy new year to all our friends in and out of Africa !!! It has been a while since we’ve delivered a new project to Africa, we just wait for the right moment. Having received EU and UN fundings for our past projects we ran out of international funding options. We took it upon ourselves and so we engaged voluntary work around Europe, exhibitions, lectures and screenings of our previous jobs in Mozambique, Zambia, Swaziland and Ethiopia. Most importantly, we work closely with @bonidee_skateparks and so we’ve accumulated budget for some new action. Lesotho is announced, but there may be more. Give us one more year and in 2027 we will rock it real hard. We won’t stop, we can’t stop! Love, SWB. #africa #skateboarding #skatepark #threeblockfanclub #concrete by @skateworldbetter
THIS IS THE PLANNED SKATEPARK IN LESOTHO The project is designed to meet all the parameters and at the same time be feasible to be constructed by a team of professionals within a maximum period of five weeks. Lepereng is located in the center of the capital of Lesotho, Maseru. The land falls under the local Olympic Committee and the skatepark will be surrounded by other sports facilities that will support the integrity of the entire area. The space will be publicly accessible, managed by the Olympic committee and the local organization Lesotho Skateboarding. The secondary ambition of this project includes a deeper connection of the centers in Mozambique, Swaziland and Lesotho. Geographically, they are in close proximity, and their deeper cooperation is therefore a multi-year strategy of the Skate World Better initiative. January 2027, THIS GOES DOWN! by @skateworldbetter

One of those days, when people unite to celebrate something special, something new, something fresh. We all met in @freshlabels to present a new project in Lesotho and to drop the new collection thats only available in the store! Go out there and get your piece if you want to support the next mission! It was a great evening, bit of skateboarding, bit of rap a bit of art, but surely a lot of great energy. Thank you for the endless support, let’s make African skateboarding great (again)!

IT IS OFFICIAL, we are going to LESOTHO in 2026. [ENG bellow] S radostí oznamujeme, že již delší dobu připravujeme další projekt v Africe. Rozhodli jsme se podpořit komunitu @lesotho_skateboarding v malém vnitrozemském Lesothu na jihu afrického kontinentu. Již delší dobu komunikujeme s místní komunitou, podporujeme je vybavením a v roce 2024 jsme zemi navštívili a zajistili povolení stavby na krásném rozlehlém pozemku ve čtvrti Lepereng. Podobu skateparku máme již nakreslenou, materiály spočítány a plány pevně ukotveny v kalendáři. Tentokrát budeme ze 100% financovat stavbu ze sponzorských darů, především za finanční a technické pomoci @bonidee_skateparks K oslavě nové výpravy vás zveme 15.10. do @freshlabels na Milady Horákové kde plánujeme představit nový projekt, nové vizuály a především nový merch, který bude na místě od té doby k prodeji! Můžete nás tak podpořit ve snaze posunout skateboarding a jeho účinky zase o krok dál! Na akci mimo jiné proběhne živá show a promítání videa z realizovaného projektu ve Svazijsku! Prostor ozdobí fotografie z Etiopského projektu od @kubokrizo a závěr večera doladí @ideatnkd @hey_emil a @james_cole_official svojí sadou. Na místě bude co pít i smlsnout díky @m.o.o.v.e.m.e.n.t bar! #skateworldbetter #freshlabels #Afrika ————— We are happy to announce a new project! We decided to support @lesotho_skateboarding in Lesotho, the tiny landlocked state in southern Africa. After visiting the country in 2024 we managed to secure the land in the Lepereng neighborhood. The skatepark yet has the shape on a paper and the departure is well marked in our calendar. This time we will finance the project purely from sponsors contributions and both financial and technical support of @bonidee_skateparks To celebrate this, we’d like to invite you to @freshlabels in Milady Horákové street. We will reveal the new project and drop the new merchandise that will be available at the store further on. Expect a live skate session, screening of a short video from the completed project in Swaziland and photographs by @kubokrizo from Ethiopia. Bar by @m.o.o.v.e.m.e.n.t by @skateworldbetter
