Welcome to Waterford Kamhlaba and our virtual introduction to the school. We look forward to the next stage in our school’s incredible history, from its beginnings in 1963 during the apartheid era, to the present challenges of this unique decade marked by a global pandemic and the continued quest to transform the world through education and service.
In 1981 we became the 4th United World College, embracing the philosophy of its founder, Kurt Hann, and following a mission of deliberate diversity within a “global education movement that makes education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future.”
Waterford Kamhlaba’s legacy is firmly rooted in Southern Africa, in this ancient continent and in the world. Our name reminds us of our place and purpose and the urgency to create the conditions for equity, justice and peace to thrive.
“We are all of the earth, which does not see differences of colour, religion or race. We are Kamhlaba – all of one worldem.” His Majesty King Sobhuza II, Ingwenyama of eSwatini.
