WVS - World Vision Swaziland

World Vision Swaziland (WVS) began in 1992 as an emergency relief organization before transitioning to transformational development and advocacy for the most vulnerable children, people and communities in Swaziland. With a high HIV prevalence, Swaziland has a significant proportion of children without parents (orphans) who generally tend to have poorer health, nutrition and education outcomes. WVS supports broader government initiatives targeted at these and other vulnerable children, and further works with traditional structures existing within the communities, to ensure sustainability. The transformational development programmes in WVS include maternal, newborn and child health and Nutrition, Education, HIV and AIDS, Water sanitation and hygiene (WASH), Livelihoods and economic development, Child protection and the spiritual nurturing of children.
