Waterford Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa

Waterford Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa (WKUWCSA) is a historic international school and one of the 18 United World Colleges globally, founded in 1963 near Mbabane, the capital of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland). The school offers education for secondary students (ages 11 to 18) and delivers the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme in the final two years. Waterford Kamhlaba was granted the title 'Kamhlaba' (meaning 'of the world') by His Majesty King Sobhuza II of Eswatini in recognition of its culturally diverse community. The school is known for its pioneering role in multiracial education in Southern Africa during the apartheid era and continues to embrace diversity and inclusivity. Students come from across Africa and around the world, many on full or partial scholarships through the UWC national committees. The school features a strong Community Activities Service (CAS) programme and prepares students for leading universities globally.
