Investment in AFAC will save thousands of lives and provide hope and a
radically different future for generations to come in the country that has become
the global epicenter for the HIV/AIDS pandemic. You will not find a better
opportunity to make a real, long term difference!

The Reality in Swaziland:
• Highest prevalence of HIV/AIDS and TB in the world – a deadly combination.
• 42% of all pregnant women seeking prenatal care are HIV positive. (This number is probably higher in our rural project areas.)
• HIV/AIDS is misunderstood and stigmatized. Misinformation and denial abound, leading to new infections, and eventually more orphaned children.
• The life expectancy in Swaziland is only 33, the very lowest in the entire world (compare to US at 78).
• One in Ten Swazis is an orphaned child. Many households are led by young children who have lost both parents to AIDS.
• In many villages there is no access to clean water.
• Food shortages are commonplace. Women and children in a situation of food insecurity are 80% more likely to engage in transactional sex for survival – radically increasing new HIV/AIDS infections.
• Many children cannot afford an elementary education. This traps them in the cycle of poverty, lack of opportunity, subsistence living, vulnerability and increased risk of contracting HIV/AIDS.
• The average income is less than $2 per day with 70% unemployment.
• Most of population are subsistence farmers who have no protection against the effects of drought and climate change. There is a lack of access to technical training that would help them improve agriculture or husbandry practices.
• The above problems are all interrelated and cyclical.
• A solution must be multifaceted and have the “buy-in” and leadership of the communities being served.

• Solutions for Swaziland must move beyond unsustainable ways of helping that discourage initiative and empowerment and increase dependency upon the outsider.

The Vision
• Sustainable Economic Empowerment for at-risk populations and improved food security must accompany our work with Orphaned and Vulnerable Children (OVC) and those suffering with HIV/AIDS.
• Fully integrated economic, social and spiritual programs (HIV/AIDS, health, and church development).
• Partnership with Africa Works, an organization that has extraordinarily successful economic empowerment projects in other locations.
• Establishing mid-sized cooperative agribusiness enterprises that offer real business ownership to vulnerable people.
• Africa Works has a 98% loan repayment rate!
• Monies repaid are then re-invested in new projects that provide the same type of opportunity for a whole new group of people!
• A selection criterion based on the need for intervention in marginalized communities, as well as location and resource prerequisites (social capital) needed for a project to operate successfully.
• After an in-depth assessment of AFAC, Africa Works has entered into a formal partnership with AFAC and has begun in Swaziland!
• Future projects include: broiler chicken poultry farms, egg production poultry farms, large-scale irrigated farming cooperatives, and dairy farming.

For AFAC Church Partners

As the Macedonian church gave generously to the church in Jerusalem that was
experiencing a time of drought, so we must consider what we should give to
sustain the Body of Christ in sub-Saharan Africa during this time of great need.

Acts 11: 27 During this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28
One of them, named Agabus, stood up and through the Spirit predicted that a severe
famine would spread over the entire Roman world. (This happened during the reign ofClaudius.) 29 The disciples, as each one was able, decided to provide help for the believersliving in Judea. 30 This they did, sending their gift to the elders by Barnabas and Saul. Acts 11

13 Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but thatthere might be equality. 14 At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, sothat in turn their plenty will supply what you need. The goal is equality, 15 as it is written:
“The one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little didnot have too little.” 2 Corinthians 8. (See whole chapters 8 and 9 in context)

Your investment gives the gospel message wings! As our partner churches in
Swaziland minister to both the spiritual and physical needs of those in their
community, many are coming to faith in Christ and experiencing the reality of
the Kingdom of God!
