MBABANE – World Vision Eswatini has successfully helped at least 310 000 people in the past three years.
This is contained in the organization’s 2023 annual report. The report states that these people benefited directly through various programmes, and 55 percent are teenagers while 45 percent is the youth and adults.
The report has it that the organisation has reached out to 156 000 children with life-changing and empowerment interventions.
Early in 2023, the organisation reported that it was committed to transforming the lives of the most vulnerable children in the Kingdom of Eswatini. This was to be achieved through programs including; health, nutrition and HIV, water sanitation and hygiene, livelihood and economic development and child protection and spiritual nurture.
On March 23, 2023, the organisation hosted an Evidence and Learning Day with the theme ‘Going further together for sustained wellbeing of the most vulnerable children’.
The reports further state that the organisation is currently delivering on a five-year strategy (2021-2025) and 2023 marked a three-year successive implementation of the strategy.
“World Vision Eswatini provided solutions focused on the key technical programmes, namely Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH); Livelihoods and Economic Resilience; Health, Nutrition and HIV; and Community Engagement and Sponsorship Plan (CESP). Additionally, adapting to the change in the environment, the organisation integrated interventions on Climate Change, Gender Equity and Social Inclusion (GESI), as well as the implementation of programmes in urban settings as priority areas,” reads part of the report.
