The mission has been working in Eswatini for about 10 years now, and it has established the International Youth Fellowship (IYF) Centre at Two Sticks in Manzini.
It is involved in various youth development programmes, including mind education and leadership training, which have been conducted at various levels of government, including the Cabinet and members of parliament.
