Bulembu, Swiziland-Africa Mission Trips
8/15/2011 $1000+

On the border that separates South Africa from Swaziland is the community of Bulembu. Abandoned by the mining industry in 2001, the 10,000 residents of Bulembu soon deserted the town in search of employment. At the same time, the country was, and continues to be, ravaged by the highest HIV/AIDS infection rate in the world (38.8%) and the resulting orphan crisis. In 2006, a team of entrepreneurs and social developers purchased the abandoned town with a clear vision; to restore Bulembu to a vibrant, self-sustaining community by the year 2020.
