MBABANE – World Vision, has officially launched its urban programming initiative in Eswatini.
Recognizing the presence of vulnerable populations in urban areas, the organization is extending its vital assistance beyond traditional boundaries and not only focusing on rural areas.
Today, amidst great anticipation, World Vision inaugurated its first-ever urban-focused office, the Lobamba Area Programme (AP). This significant step underscores the organization’s commitment to addressing the needs of families living in high-risk regions and urban areas, where challenges often mirror those faced in more remote locations.
Operating in the Lobamba Lomdzala and Kwaluseni constituencies, the Lobamba AP is poised to make a lasting impact. With operations set to commence in October FY24, World Vision plans to serve these communities for an extensive 12-year period. This initiative aligns with World Vision’s core value of dedicating efforts to uplift the less fortunate.
Collaborating closely with the Matsapha and Malkerns municipalities, World Vision aims to provide essential support, empowering communities to overcome disadvantages and create environments where children can thrive. This new chapter in World Vision’s mission marks a significant stride toward a more inclusive and compassionate society, where every individual, regardless of their location, receives the care and support they deserve.
