ABOUT SENTEBALE (Organizational Background)
Founded in 2006 by Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex and Prince Seeiso Bereng of Lesotho, Sentebale works with vulnerable children and young people in Lesotho and Botswana. We help them access vital health services, receive care and support, and build skills to be more resilient and self-sufficient.
Sentebale was founded by Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso in 2006 in memory of their mothers and as a response to the needs of children and young people in Lesotho and then, in 2016, began working in Botswana. The name means ‘forget- me-not’ – representing a pledge to remember the most vulnerable children in the region.
Sentebale works with children and young people in Botswana and Lesotho to help them access vital health services, receive care and support, and build skills to be more resilient and self-sufficient. We have always had a strong focus on HIV/AIDS – especially through psychosocial support and outreach work into communities. We aim to reach the most vulnerable children and young people, who are often challenged by issues of deprivation, exploitation, abuse or neglect. As progress has been made in tackling the HIV/AIDS epidemic we are increasingly addressing some of the wider challenges children and young people have articulated.
Children and young people are at the center of Sentebale’s work, which focuses on listening to their needs and expectations and always protecting their rights. Sentebale empowers young people, ensuring they are safe and confident, able to lead and advocate for themselves and their peers. Our work is rooted in values of compassion, respect, sustainability, and accountability.
Our work is supported by fundraising from supporters mainly based in the UK and USA, plus institutional fundraising from donors such as UNICEF and USAID’.
