We have made it our core mission to engage with local communities on their own terms. We consider this to be one of the most unique and important aspects of our work.
As such, we have engaged with community champions across rural and remote villages to support local clients in empowering themselves. These community champions are elected and trusted leaders within their community. They help us identify local members who are in dire need of help, and then they help to ensure that our clients have enough support in undertaking income-generation projects. We are grateful for their humble service to their community.
Your generous gift could reimburse one community champion for a whole year, thereby supporting a whole community.

The PDI field team work from a small office in Siteki, one of the rural communities in the Lubombo mountain regions of Swaziland. We try to minimise the cost of our work as much as possible, but there are still operational costs that we need to cover. It is the only space that we rent, as our international team collaborates virtually!
Your precious gift could help us fund the field team’s office rent and electricity bills for one month.

The Sitsatsaweni Vegetable Farm is the brainchild of PDI’s local Swazi team. in 2018 the team begun growing maize and other crops on this land to provide emergency food aid for elderly people, pregnant women and malnourished children. This reduces our need to purchase maize every year, empowering a self-sustaining community and reducing reliance on donations. The produce from the garden is used mainly to support the Matsetsa soup kitchen. But we are dreaming bigger for the future of this farm...
Phase two would involve building a storage structure and building an irrigation system with water pump and piping to keep the farm abundant throughout extreme climate seasons. Ideally a structure will need to be built to house the farm equipment and materials and also a room for a caretaker for the farm. The caretaker would ensure that the vegetables are not harvested by thieves.
After 12 months, your generous gift would fund all of these dreams for improving the farm in Sitsatsaweni.

When Tshepo* was diagnosed with epilepsy, he was no longer to work as a bus driver and lost the income he needed to feed his family. We helped him by giving him the funds he needed to build a chicken farm, in order to have a long-term sustainable source of income for him and his family.
To ensure there is sufficient income for people like Tshepo, PDI supports families with their business ideas such as breeding goats, breeding chickens and selling sugar.
Your precious gift could help families like Tshepo’s with their income generating projects.

The AIDS epidemic has left many vulnerable orphans under the care of their elderly grandparents who themselves have many medical issues. Many of these families do not have a secure roof over their heads.
Each home built represents a place to study, cook meals and sleep, protected from harsh weather and danger. This project employs local Swazis and involves the family every step of the way. Once the house is completed, a small traditional ceremony celebrates this achievement, and symbolises a hope for a more secure future.
Your generous gift could fund the cost of building a house to ensure one family to have shelter over their heads.

The terminal stages of HIV/AIDS can be profoundly challenging for many people in rural and remote villages of Swaziland. Sometimes exiled and isolated, those dying from AIDS are bed-bound, with incontinence and incredible exhaustion.
In a country with the highest prevalence of HIV, your donation gives the invaluable gift of comfort and dignity to a person in their final days. It allows us to provide wound care and cleaning, as well as a basic bundle of incontinence pads, soap, a blanket and a mattress, making an enormous and meaningful difference to someone’s life.

PDI believes in work that supports the ongoing independence and empowerment of communities it works with. Many women are naturally entrepreneurial supports enterprising women creating and selling various handicrafts in the local market.
After building the Matsetsa soup kitchen, we were excited to have many women in the community approach us to use their natural enterprising passion to create handicrafts to sell at the local market to generate an income for themselves. Soon the time spent at the soup kitchen became moments for grandmothers to sit together and create jewellery, hats, bags and grass sleeping mats. They began to sell these handicrafts in bulk to generate income. Supporting these women represents the transition from emergency food aid to community ownership and sustainable economic empowerment, by building on the success of the Matsetsa soup kitchen and established community relationships.
Your precious gift could help kickstart more entrepreneurship by funding the initial materials for these handicraft projects.

The PDI team rely on two vehicles to visit families and clients in remote communities. These vehicles deliver emergency food supplement ‘Mealie Meal’, transport supplies to the Sitsatsaweni Farm and allow the team to support clients with their Income Generation Projects.
These vehicles have lasted for years, despite traversing long distances on poorly maintained, rocky roads in unpredictable weather.
With one of two vehicles often out of action and when another requires frequent servicing, delivering our work in remote communities is challenged.
Over six years, your generous gift could help us attain a new vehicle which will help the PDI team do the important work of serving its communities.
