Partners

Shiselweni Reformed Home-Based Care is privileged to have a number of partners who are working together with us as we follow our dream to serve the great number of people in Swaziland suffering from the effects of HIV and AIDS.These partners come from a wide range. Some are churches or other organisations assisting us financially. Other organisations are more focused on helping us with information. Others are helping or have helped us with resources. These partners are playing an essential role to enable us to do even more in Swaziland and we want to honor those who made the decision to come alongside our ministry to enable us to increase our capacity.


Many of our partners have indicated that they do not want their names to be published. We respect their decision. Therefore, we are only listing the names of those partners who are working within the public sphere and who have their own websites available.
