Swaziland is a nation of contrasts. Hope and desperation. Undeniable light and unspeakable pain. Beauty and darkness. The Swazi people are welcoming, happy, and proud of their culture. There are also many who suffer. Swaziland has the world's highest infection rate of HIV/AIDS. Almost 50% of the 1 million Swazi's are under age 18 and 40% of those children are orphans. The economy is struggling and 70% of Swazi's live on less than $2 per day.

By going to Swaziland you can be hope. As you learn about the culture and meet the people you'll hear about the many ways Adventures Swaziland is working alongside Swazi's to bring healing, redemption, and light.

  • 200,000 OVC (orphans and vulnerable children) provide ample opportunity to share the Love of God and the Gospel of Jesus. You will see firsthand in the smiling faces and warm embraces there is reason for optimism about the future.
  • Partnering with a local Swazi church can help reach entire communities devastated by the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
  • Home visits are crucial to build relationships for love, encouragement, and prayer.
  • Special projects like home repairs, medical outreach, sports outreach, or hospital visitation touch the poorest of the poor.


    • Depending on type of trip, purpose, and length of stay this could be a typical daily schedule:

    Day 1 - Depart home.
    Day 2 - Arrive, overnight in Johannesburg. AIM staff will greet you at the airport and take you to comfortable and safe lodging.
    Day 3 - Make the beautiful 5 ½ hour drive to Swaziland. Culture Orientation in the afternoon, dinner, settle into lodging.
    Day 4 - Attend church - take part in the service and go on Sunday afternoon home visits. Return to lodging for evening group time and organizing for week of ministry.
    Day 5 through 8 - Morning prayer time together as a group, minister at care points in the AM and home visits/construction projects/special outreaches in the PM.
    Day 9 - Shop, safari, or more ministry.
    Day 10 - Drive back to Johannesburg for flight home.
    "Swazi breaks your heart in some ways, yet refreshes your spirit in a way that is indescribable. I am inspired, challenged, and refreshed each time I visit."

    - Kati Bailey
    "The people there will capture your heart and will become friends that you pray for, ask about, and love. It was not simply a chance to go on a missions trip, it was an opportunity to meet Jesus in the faces of little ones and to learn what having family in the body of Christ is truly about."
