Britain's Prince Harry visited a project in Lesotho which provides therapy for abused children.

The 23-year-old royal - who is visiting the African kingdom with his charity Sentebale, which he founded with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006 - visited the headquarters of a home in the village of Ha Takalimane.

Sentebale contributed a third of the building's £100,000 construction costs.

Harry said: "As you can see, it's a fantastic building, especially compared to what they were last in. We're all very happy and it's got a fantastic board as well to make sure this place runs well.

"The vulnerable kids of Lesotho who need the help, need the shelter, will always be welcome here. This place is a shelter for children. They come in, they have their problems of whatever kind and they're looked after, then they are reunited with their families as soon as possible."

During his visit to Lesotho, Harry will be working with 26 soldiers from his Household Cavalry (Blues and Royals) regiment, to help rebuild a school for disabled children.
