What We Do
At Sentebale our priority is to reach the most needy and vulnerable children.
Sentebale directs aid through funding and management support to voluntary, grass-roots community services that are attempting to fill the gaps in care. We also consider more entrepreneurial projects which have the capacity to change the lives of communities trying to support orphans and vulnerable children.
The problems in Lesotho are now so acute that Sentebale is adopting innovative approaches in delivering support. We work with organisations even if they do not have the management structures in place normally required by other donors so long as they are delivering an effective service. We then assist small community organisations to develop more sophisticated management skills, and to work alongside them as they acquire them. This ensures that partner organisations can deliver the best possible support to the children in their care and increases the capacity of local organisations to look after those of their own, in need, into the future.
By investing strategically - not just granting generously - we aim to help community based organisations increase their impact on the lives of the children they serve.
In addition Sentebale is committed to collaboration with all aid providers in Lesotho - whether major international grant-makers, smaller NGOs, local service providers or government. Our co-operative working initiative Letsema is proving that greater impact can be made through collaborative working.
