That career move led her to Seinoli Legal Centre, a first public interest law Centre in Lesotho which assists vulnerable communities to use the law as a tool for protecting their land and resource rights.
Nkoti has an interest in NGOs and development, specifically the roles that local NGOs can play in promoting civil society and development work and how their capacity can be improved in order to meet challenges in carrying out their diverse mandates.
