What is the Sentebale Polo Cup?
This will be an event that will tour the world, being hosted in different countries to raise funds and awareness for the charity Sentebale and its work with orphans and vulnerable children in Lesotho.
The Sentebale Polo Cup will celebrate polo as a sport whilst focusing attention on the plight of vulnerable children in Lesotho. To achieve Sentebale's ambitious goals, working at a local and national level in Lesotho, the charity needs funds to deliver the care that the children deserve.
The annual Sentebale Polo Cup will be a high profile and exclusive event that will direct money and attention to a cause in critical need of help, support and exposure.
