Program accomplishments

  • Community Centers Programs, Projects, and Food : During 2024, Wetsembekile Ministries maintained facilities and wells at 3 community centers, feeding orphaned and vulnerable children approximately 1800 meals over 6 days a week - 90,000 meals in a year. Providing food and clean water improved the lives of hundreds of orphaned and vulnerable children and surrounding community members. Wetsembekile Ministries staff and volunteers hosted fun days and weekly programs at the community centers to help children grow in being more physically, emotionally, relationally,and spiritually healthy. Free preschool was provided for children of the community. At 2 of the community centers,soccer pitches and netball courts were cleared, providing a place for kids to be active but safe as they play. In December, Christmas food parcels were distributed to over 200 families.
    Expenses $92,252 · revenue $98,689
  • Benevolence and Community Outreach: In 2024, Wetsembekile Ministries continued to provide food, housing and basic household improvements for people with no or severly inadequate housing, funds for medical help, and assistance in paying for transportation, uniforms and fees for school for struggling people in the community, including child-led homesteads. A home was built for an elderly widow caring for her grandchildren. The 3 wells and the water distribution systems established in prior years continue to provide clean water to over 250 homesteads.
    Expenses $75,311 · revenue $81,180
  • Local Farm: Unemployment & food security are 2 of the biggest obstacles to people being holistically healthy in Eswatini. As part of Wetsembekiles vision to see health throughout the communities, Wetsembekile has purchased a 360 acre farm to grow food and provide jobs for local Swazis. In 2024 additional land was purchased & the perimeter cleared. On the first portion of the farm, beans were grown, drip irrigation was installed, and additional land was cleared. In 2024, 80 people were impacted by the jobs provided at the farm, impacting over close to 600 people when you include those living at their homesteads. Not only does this land serve as a living classroom and a source of food security, but it also keeps families together, because parents can work close to home and be home for their children each evening instead of just one weekend a month.
