Thulwane

---

Thulwane is a very hot, rural community approximately 16 miles from eSwatini's largest city, Manzini. Because of the heat and drought-like conditions, the people of Thulwane have to work extremely hard to earn a living. Many parents leave their children with Gogos (grandmothers) or even abandon them in search of work and better living conditions. The high unemployment rate has also contributed to a prevailing problem of alcoholism in the community. Many students drop out of school because of inability to pay for their education, which has ultimately contributed to a high rise in teenage pregnancy.
