Sentebale has hosted 50 children aged eight–12 years old at Mamohato Children’s Centre at Lihaseng Village in Thaba-Bosiu for the screening of a free international film, ‘Matilda’.
The film showcases strong themes around education and kindness. It further highlights how children can stand up against bullies, be resilient, and overcome challenges.
“We are pleased to have hosted a successful movie day for the community. The joy on each child’s face was a reminder why our work at Sentebale is so important. Every child deserves to be in a space where they can be children and be inspired, where safety, support, and a sense of belonging are fundamental rights, not privileges,” said Sentebale Lesotho Country Director, Ntoli Moletsane.
Also in attendance were Executive Director, Sentebale staff, caregivers, parents and the Chief’s representative who praised Sentebale and the centre for the impactful work they do.
The Mamohato Children’s Centre has been a key landmark for the community known for its beautiful landscape, modern conference facilities, accommodation, and recreational spaces.
When not in use for Sentebale programmes, the centre becomes a venue for all forms of local or corporate events and gatherings, where every booking ensures that vulnerable children and young people from the community benefit.
Together with its partners and the local community, Sentebale is shaping a future where every young person in Lesotho is empowered, supported, and given the opportunity to thrive.
The organisationworks with children and young people aged 0-24 in Lesotho and Botswana to create sustainable solutions across three impact areas: health, wealth creation, and climate resilience.
Each year, Sentebale directly supports over 78,000 children and young people in the two countries.
The organisation was founded by Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Prince Seeiso Bereng Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006, in memory of their late mothers.
The name Sentebale means “forget-me-not” in the Sesotho language, representing a pledge to remember the most vulnerable children in the region.
