A Journey of Impact in eswatini: Crossroads’ Upcoming Charity Challenge
🌟 Exciting News! 🌟
Crossroads International is excited to announce our next Charity Challenge journey to Eswatini in February 2028. This unique experience will combine breathtaking landscapes, vibrant culture, and the chance to witness firsthand how Crossroads and our partners are advancing gender equality and empowering women and girls.
Why Participate
Join Crossroads International on a once-in-a-lifetime Charity Challenge trip that goes far beyond travel – made even more meaningful as we celebrate our 70th anniversary in 2028.
For seven decades, Crossroads has partnered with communities to advance dignity, equality, and sustainable development, and this milestone journey to Eswatini invites you to be part of that enduring legacy.
This immersive experience offers exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to community-led women’s entrepreneurship initiatives, youth empowerment clubs, dialogue with partners, and a first-hand understanding of how contributions from supporters like you drive lasting change. Through meaningful connections with program participants – marginalized women and girls – you will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges they face, and the transformative impact your generosity makes possible.
Past trip participants describe the experience as “unforgettable,” offering powerful insight, human connection, and a renewed sense of purpose.
More than a journey, this is an opportunity to align your philanthropy with purpose, deepen your understanding of global development, and play a direct role in advancing dignity, equality, and opportunity.
Discover the Kingdom of Eswatini
Nestled between South Africa and Mozambique, Eswatini is one of Africa’s last remaining monarchies—a land of dramatic mountain scenery, rich cultural traditions, and abundant wildlife.
From the bustling heart of Mbabane and Manzini to rural communities where women artisans are transforming their futures, every step of this seven-day journey offers opportunities for connection and discovery.
Participants will have the chance to immerse themselves in traditional Swazi culture, join treks through spectacular landscapes, and witness the resilience and strength of the people of Eswatini.
The Impact: Empowering Communities
The Charity Challenge is more than an adventure—it’s a journey of solidarity. Along the way, participants will visit Crossroads-supported projects, such as:
- SWAGAA (Swaziland Action Group Against Abuse) an organization leading against gender-based violence through advocacy, education, victim support services, and innovative prevention initiatives—including programs with Crossroads since 2003 focused on girls’ empowerment, economic resilience, and engaging men in ending abuse.
-
Kwahka Indvodza, a pioneering male mentoring organization breaking cultural stereotypes and fostering positive masculinity.
Through these encounters, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges Eswatini faces—from high unemployment and inequality to limited access to education—and how Crossroads and its partners are working to create lasting change.
A Journey That Transforms
This experience is designed not only to inspire participants but also to make a tangible difference for women, girls, and their communities. By joining, you’ll become part of a movement to advance equality, eliminate poverty, and build a more just world.
