About our Service-Learning in Swaziland:
Regardless of whether you are a professional or a student, GHFP invites you to join our team on a journey to Swaziland, Africa to learn and dedicate your time, skills, and labor to a community of orphaned children struggling with poverty, HIV/AIDS, and illiteracy. These trips will be tailored to meet the needs of the local Swazi children while remaining cognizant of your skills and expertise including but not limited to: education, engineering, healthcare, nutrition, counseling, and art & design. If you are a student, we will work with your college or university to facilitate you earning independent study college credit for your experience! We at GHFP thank you for your commitment to make a stand, participate on a trip, and actively take part in the global effort to eradicate poverty in Swaziland, curb HIV/AIDS, and empower orphaned children!  

This journey will offer: 
  • Immersion in rural villages ravaged by HIV/AIDS, poverty, and illiteracy.
  • An opportunity to become engaged with a very different culture thereby encouraging the development of cultural competence.
  • Interaction with children who are dealing with the grief of losing their parents while, often times, also dealing with the burden of raising their younger brothers and sisters.
  • A means of experiencing the dramatic beauty of a country that has not been affected by pollution and industrialization.
  • An opportunity to teach at rural, impoverished, and poorly resourced primary and secondary schools.
  • Hands-on experiences at HIV clinics, African NGOs, schools, child-headed homes, and much more!
  • After the trip, you will be encouraged to attend GHFP events and remain involved as an Ambassador for the orphans.
