EKhaya Fitness & Wellness Centre

Small beginnings, big vision!

In April, we launched eKhaya Fitness & Wellness Gym, at the University of Eswatini, Luyengo Campus!

The launch event was full of excitement - fun challenges and awesome prizes, and incredible energy from the students.

Our mission is to promote health, fitness, and holistic wellness for both students and staff while supporting the work by Lend a Hand Charitable Foundation an organization committed to supporting and empowering orphaned and underprivileged university students.

We're looking forward to welcoming more students and staff, building healthier habits and transforming lives through fitness and wellness.

Kick off the week strong—set, aim, and achieve!

In the words of the Alchemist, "When you walk with purpose, even the winding paths lead to destiny."

Working out during this heat wave? 🌞💪 Remember, sweating means you're losing more than water—you’re losing vital electrolytes like sodium, iodine, iron, and copper, too! 🧂

Stay ahead of the game by fueling your body with the right foods and staying hydrated. 💦

Khayalakhe has over five years of experience with food security and hunger programs in Eswatini's higher education institutions. Khayalakhe is currently the founder and executive director of the Lend a Hand Charitable Foundation, which works to address food insecurity and the barriers that prevent orphans and low-income students from achieving success in Eswatini's higher education institutions. He advocates for student success that extends beyond academics. He is a fitness trainer and entrepreneur who owns a gym that offers a comprehensive program to students and faculty to combat noncommunicable diseases and promote an active lifestyle on campus.

After completing the Mandela Washington Fellowship, Khayalakhe intends to continue his work addressing food insecurity and hunger in Eswatini's higher education community through a sustainable livelihood program and a scholarship program.

Congratulations Khayalakhe and best of luck on your program in Kansas!

I am incredibly honored to be selected for the Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders. This prestigious program offers a unique opportunity for me to collaborate with over 700 exceptional young leaders from across Sub-Saharan Africa.

I look forward to participating in workshops and discussions with business, government, and civic leaders, further developing my leadership and business acumen to create positive change.
