Foundation
The SAME Centre
Since 2009 it has been our mission at Royal Malewane to create meaningful change in the lives of disadvantaged children in the Sigagule community, about 10 km from Royal Malewane. One of the ways in which we’ve maintained an avenue of support is through The SAME Centre (South African Medical Expeditions), which focuses on providing basic food and medical support for vulnerable children and their caregivers in Sigagule.
Donations of instant porridge provided immediate food support and nourishment for children at the crèche, and is made available for them to take home on weekends when the school is closed. The SAME Centre also provides medical care and other services to families in need in the community.
In 2022, we sponsored a vegetable garden and seedlings for the Langutelani Creche. It was set up by a local farmer, Benica, and the educators and cooks from the crèche are doing an excellent job at maintaining it. Benica still provides assistance when needed and we will continue sponsoring seedlings on a regular basis, as well as gas to cook meals that are nutritious, colourful, and sustainable.

New fire pits for school meals at Sihlekisi Primary School
Tried and tested at a school in the Mashamba Community in Venda, “Industrial Rocket Stoves” are the new cost-effective and firewood-conservative fire pits The Royal Foundation has helped build at Sihlekisi Primary School. These insulated brick-and-mortar outdoor stoves are safer, more economical, and more environmentally and socially sustainable than the open fire pits typically used for outdoor cooking, mitigating issues like deforestation and toxic smoke inhalation.
Inspired by a study by the University of Virginia in collaboration with the Mashamba Community, these stoves use less firewood, and allow less heat and smoke to escape during the cooking process, and they are specifically designed for the use of large pots. The design of these stoves was guided by input from the community, so they directly address the needs and best utilise the skills and expertise readily available. They are safer for the cooks, for the children, and they are lighter on resources than open fire pits, making the provision of all-important meals for learners and teachers on a daily basis more sustainable.
