Young Heroes Foundation

Over the past 20-years, Young Heroes initiatives have supported over 80,000 orphans and vulnerable children with food, clothing, education, medical care, microcredit programs, and vocational training. 

We’ve been recognized as a Top Rated Non-Profit time and again for our transparency and sustainable initiatives. Young Heroes continues to be the leading organization in Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) devoted to meeting the holistic needs of children and adolescents living with and affected by HIV/AIDS, COVID-19, disabilities, and Gender-Based Violence.

Due to the sudden termination of USAID, there are many immediate needs that reach beyond Heroes' current programs.   In these difficult times, Young Heroes is determined to see that these deserving kids continue to get the assistance they need.  We're grateful for your continuing support. Even the smallest amount donated this Giving Tuesday will have a life-changing impact. Siyabonga Kakhulu (Thank You Very Much)!
