For You I Study, For You I Work,
For You I Am Ready to Give Up
My Life (St. John Bosco)
We are a Catholic religious congregation (S.D.B. stands for the Salesians of Don Bosco) founded by a Saint John Bosco (Don Bosco) in 1859 (Italy, Turin). The first Salesians arrived to South Africa in 1896 (Cape Town), to eSwatini – Swaziland in 1953 and to Lesotho in 1980.
Our main mission is for the disadvantaged youth living in Southern Africa whilst striving to spread the spirituality and pedagogy (preventive system of education) of Don Bosco within the local Church and Society. We work in 6 Catholic parishes, 3 TVET’s (vocational training centres), 7 Youth and Young Adults projects, two Youth Centres and 18 primary and high schools in Southern Africa.
Inspired by St. John Bosco’s vision, the Salesians focus on uplifting young people, especially the poor and marginalized, by providing them with EDUCATION and OPPORTUNITIES to build a GREATER FUTURE.
The SALESIAN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM, developed by ST. JOHN BOSCO, is founded on the PREVENTIVE SYSTEM, which emphasizes REASON, RELIGION, and LOVING-KINDNESS. This approach focuses on guiding and accompanying young people proactively, fostering a nurturing environment that encourages personal growth and moral development, rather than relying on punitive measures.
