Since 1986, Partners in Action has served communities in need around the world. Partnering with local champions, we help visionaries pioneer their faith-filled passions to bring a positive, biblical impact to communities in need.
We help leaders establish and run nonprofit initiatives that are able to serve communities well beyond our reach. We call these initiatives Affiliates.
Today, over 54% of the child population of Eswatini are classified as orphaned and vulnerable. In a nation of only 1.2 million there are more than 350,000 Orphaned and Vulnerable Children (OVC). We provide safe, loving homes to as many children as we can afford at Bulembu today.
Our community sites include the construction of a kindergarten school. Orphaned and Vulnerable Children are then provided with sponsorships to attend the school. The average child graduating from one of our community site kindergarten's is educationally and developmentally 2 - 3 years ahead of other children entering local elementary schools.
Essential Oils, Timber, Honey, Bulembu Lodge & Conference Center, Bulembu Dairy, and Bakery are all businesses that we established for the expressed purpose of funding childcare needs, leading to a self-sustaining town.
With 69% of the population living below the national poverty line, many families go without the food necessary to remain healthy. We are attempting to meet this need through various agricultural and entrepreneurial programs which seek to combat food insecurity, increasing farm yields and family income generation.

How much can a place change people? The impact of one unique place in the mountains of Swaziland on the people who are there is inestimable. It extends to those who arrive and stay in Bulembu, no matter how long their visit may be. The ongoing work of caring for orphans of all ages, running profit-making business operations to support and train them, and giving everyone a new model for a more hopeful future is nothing short of a miracle of ideas and opportunities brought together in true Christian love and service.
