In the heart of Eswatini, one intervention has made a world of difference for Beauty, a resilient 21yearold facing adversity. To help children live a hungerfree tomorrow, World Vision and partners invest in livelihoods and longerterm intervention that improve food security.
Just a few months back, in Gcamuzela, a village in Hlane, Beauty (holding chicken), received a donation of 3 indigenous chickens (1 cock and 2 and pullets), 2 female goats and fencing for her backyard gardening. Today, those 3 chickens have multiplied to 18, thanks to her dedication.
A project named "Childheaded Household Farming" formed through a partnership with World Vision Eswatini and Esicojeni Foundation, ensured that Beauty has capital for generating income and securing her future.
"These interventions will help me provide for my basic needs," says Beauty, echoing the sentiments of 295 children benefitting from similar support in Eswatini.
With crop production inputs, goats, indigenous chickens, and backyard gardening equipment, these 295 children from the Lubombo and Shiselweni regions are empowered to thrive.
Beauty dreams of returning to school as soon as her chickens and goats yield enough profit to cover her school fees. She highlighted this when she received startup seedlings for her backyard harden (20 cabbages, 50 greenpeppers, 50 beetroots, 50 onions and 50 spinach).
"I plan on giving my all when it comes to chickens and goats and I know that this will multiply them massively. Then I will be able to make enough money to go back to school", she said.
It isn't just a donation; it's a lifechanging investment in a brighter tomorrow.
