Eswatini is a small country with a great need! Nearly one third of Eswatini's population is made up of orphaned and vulnerable children due to the country having the highest HIV/AIDS rate in the world!
It may seem like an impossible task for anyone to make a difference, but you can give hope and transform the lives of these children by sponsoring one of them today.
We are currently taking care of 379 children every single day. Providing them with more than just food, shelter and clothing. We provide them with the opportunity to thrive. This means we take care of their medical needs, food, clothing, housing, and education in a safe, loving environment where they can just be kids, and to emerge as leaders in their homes, work, community and nation.
Right now we need your help as we seek to find sponsorship for 64 of these precious children, therefore we are asking you to stand with us by giving what you can to help.
100% of all sponsorship funds go directly towards taking care of each child, for we believe every child deserves the chance to have an education and fulfil their dreams.

The Unsupported
Meet Ncami
Ncami was born in a small village in a remote area of Eswatini. At an early age she lost her father to the HIV/Aids pandemic, so her loving mother, who was also sick, looked after her and her two sisters.
They depended for a time upon their extended family, but eventually the burden of extra mouths to feed was too much and they had to leave to fend for themselves.
Sadly, Ncami’s mum was too sick to care for them and had an extensive stay in hospital (she has since passed away). Ncami’s 13 year old sister became ‘mum’ and looked after her and their younger sibling. They were left alone like this for a number of years – fending for themselves and trying to find love which was not there. Miraculously, through a local contact, the children’s plight was brought to the attention of one of Challenge Ministries welfare workers and all three girls were offered a home in one of our care centres.
Thanks to generous donations from around the world, Ncami (and many others like her) was given a fresh start and has realised her dream of graduating from college with a qualification in media studies – she is now employed in this industry. The true cost of providing this top quality care and education and helping to transform Ncami’s life is £250 per month (or £25/month as a co-sponsor).
You can do for another child what others have done for Ncami by choosing to sponsor a child today!
