Transforming lives through sustainable development, the Hlonipheka Thriving for Dignity Programme is a testament to positive change in Eswatini. This programme, born from the collaboration between the United Nations Population Fund and the European Union, addresses the prevention and response of gender based violence while building lasting community resilience. The programme's comprehensive approach to sustainability encompasses economic empowerment, response to gender-based violence, and disability rights advocacy.
Through strategic partnerships and targeted interventions with implementing partners; FODSWA, Haven Of Hope, Libumba Medical Mission, Likusasa Letfu, NATICC, SWAGAA and Zuzani@Goshen, Hlonipheka has already equipped a number survivors of gender-based violence with essential livelihood skills and provided safe havens for vulnerable adolescent girls and young women. The programme's innovative approach extends beyond immediate assistance, focusing on long-term empowerment through skills development, policy advocacy, and community engagement. These efforts create a robust foundation for sustainable social and economic development across Eswatini's communities. Hlonipheka aims to create safe communities that actively promote social justice and protect fundamental human rights and support survivors of GBV and advocate for the rights of persons with disabilities.
