An adventure awaits you in Swaziland!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Swaziland is like no place on earth. Visitors are stunned by the lush, mountainous beauty of a country said to die out by 2050. While tragic truth hides behind the stark beauty of the African hills, you can help bring hope to this land.

No country on earth has been more devastated by AIDS. With the highest rate of infection in the world, the disease has affected almost every family in Swaziland. Forty percent of Swazi children have been orphaned because of infected parents. Words like “rape” and “abuse” can be found in schoolchildren’s workbooks. Mothers are widowed, left with no means to support their hungry families.

These statistics continue to increase at an alarming rate. Women and children are often left malnourished, uneducated, and without hope.

During your time in Africa you will restore hope to those left behind by the pandemic.

You will serve alongside our long term missionaries through feeding and playing with orphans at local care points, visiting the homes of the poor and dying, and visiting the sick in the hospital. Through it all, you will aid in restoring joy. And you may just help keep the country’s people and future alive.

Will you help us give “hope and a future” to the widows and orphans of Swaziland?
