Sentebale, a charity that helps vulnerable orphans and children survive and thrive, was born from the compassion and humanitarianism of Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso. Sentebale means "forget-me-not" and was adopted for the title of the foundation in loving memory of the Princes' mothers, who they both lost at a young age. Sentebale is more than an organization that donates money; it has taken a new approach to aiding those in need by operating on longterm goals. It works with local partners and grass roots movements to offer at-risk children health and education services that will change their lives for the better.

In order to ensure the ongoing success of their mission, award-winning Philanthropist, Lena Evans, leads the efforts and as such has arranged a number of exciting events in the USA centered around raising awareness and support for the cause. The charity works year-round directing aid to community services and entrepreneurial projects that will provide long-term services to children facing illness, disabilities, abuse, and abandonment.
