Despite walking over three miles to school everyday, Nhlakanipho is doing well in his studies. He sweeps up at home to help out with chores. He lives with his father, a driver, and his mother, a housewife. A favorite meal at home is chicken, but it is rare because of cost. In his spare time, Nhlakanipho likes to play with toy cars that he has likely created with random pieces of scraps. This young man believes he would like to be a soldier when he grows up. Will you encourage him to be a good steward of the talents God has given him?

Madonsa

---

Madonsa is an inner-city community on the outer edge of eSwatini's largest city, Manzini. Most of the people living in Madonsa have moved from their rural homesteads and are renting small one-room apartments while attempting to find work in Manzini. Most people are not employed. They try to make ends meet by sewing, making grass mats, and anything else they can take to the city to sell. The lack of work and extreme poverty has led to issues within the community such as alcoholism, abuse and neglect of children, teenage pregnancy, and school dropouts.
