The Litsemba project reaches more than 100 Neighborhood Care Points (NCPs).
This project brings hope to children in Shiselweni.
Litsemba supports the holistic growth of children through a network of Neighborhood Care Points (NCPs) that reach over 3,000 children. These community-based structures, staffed by women volunteers, offer orphans a daily meal and a caring adult presence.
Litsemba (“hope” in siSwati) is supported by many German foundations including the Thomas Engel Foundation, Moewenweg Foundation, and Kindernothilfe (KNH). Litsemba is supported locally by the Rotary Club of Mbabane.
The full program includes:
- food;
- early childhood care and education for the youngest children;
- a mobile clinic that provides basic healthcare; and
- income-generating projects for the caregivers who so generously give their time.
To undertake this program, Young Heroes operates a satellite office in Nhlangano with a dedicated staff.
