Ki Smith Gallery x Sentebale
Ki Smith Gallery has always stood at the intersection of art and impact. Since its conception in 2018 we have consistently used our platform to help raise awareness and charitable donations for important and impactful NGOs. Ki Smith Gallery was first connected with the Sentebale team over a year ago and was immediately drawn to Sentebale’s wide scope of impactful work in youth entrepreneurship. As our teams continued to connect there was a clear alignment of values as well as kinship shared in approaching problems from new angles and finding innovative solutions in our respective fields.
Our team visited Sentebale’s headquarters in Lesotho and we were able to witness the outstanding convening power, generosity, and interdependence that Sentebale harbors. We were deeply moved by the incredible sense of optimism present in Sentebale’s community. This spanned from local youth in Lesotho and Botswana, who have been empowered by Sentebale to become leaders and entrepreneurs, to world leaders and industry titans who use their influence to unite people and create solutions for the future. Collaboration, building community, and empowering a rising generation have always been core tenants of Ki Smith Gallery and Friend is a result of the Sentebale’s parallel ethos.
Essentially, as written on the facade of Ki Smith’s first gallery Apostrophe NYC (2012), “What you give is what you get”. Ki Smith Gallery is proud to be donating 100% of gallery proceeds from Friend to Sentebale.

About Sentebale
Sentebale works with children and young people and their communities to create sustainable solutions that address issues of health, wealth inequity, and climate resilience in the Southern African countries of Lesotho and Botswana.The organization was founded by Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex and HRH Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006 as a response to the needs of children and young people in Lesotho and in memory of their late mothers. The name means ‘forget-me-not’ in the Sesotho language, representing a pledge to remember the most vulnerable children in the region.Over the last eighteen years, Sentebale has developed solutions informed by children, their caregivers and the young people the organization serves, to address both systemic issues and individual needs of the moment. This work includes providing and enabling the care of young people living with HIV/AIDS, addressing mental health issues, career exploration and entrepreneurship, critical life skills and advocacy; and offering vocational training and education opportunities. Sentebale’s work has recently expanded into the regeneration of landscapes to mitigate the adverse impact of climate change on the natural resources that communities rely on.
