WHO WE WORK WITH

Sentebale works with vulnerable children and young people in Southern Africa helping them to access vital health services, receive care and support, and build skills to be more resilient and self-sufficient.

Sentebale aims to reach children and by HIV, especially the most vulnerable who are additionally challenged by issues of deprivation, exploitation, abuse, and/or neglect. They may also be disadvantaged or marginalised due to mental health issues, sexual and gender-based violence, alcohol or substance abuse, stigma, and and wellbeing.

Sentebale’s strategy focuses on four overarching objectives which provide support and awareness, enable advocacy, and promote empowerment for children and young people.

HEALTH & WELLBEING

We help strengthen the social and emotional wellbeing of the most vulnerable children and young people living with, or at risk of HIV, by addressing their mental health with psychosocial support, information sharing and providing access to youth-friendly health services.

Nurturing Communities

We work with local and national partners to provide health and social services for children and young people in a friendly, safe environment

Youth Advocacy

We believe young people should shape their own future and be given the opportunity to advocate for improved health, education, and social protection.

EDUCATION & LIVELIHOODS

We work with young people to build and support them through skills and development opportunities to become empowered members of their communities.
