The Kingdom of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland)

Elim Church Romsey has had an association with Challenge Ministries Swaziland (CMS) for several years.

CMS is a charity based at Potters Wheel Church in Mbabane, the capital of Eswatini. CMS supports many causes including a Men's Centre, a Women's Centre and children's work in remote communities. Most notably they founded and run an orphanage caring for nearly 400 children in Bulembu, an old mining town in the North West of the country.

For our Christmas appeal we raised money for a special trip for 40 children who had not been able to leave Bulembu since lockdown. many thanks to all those who generously contributed to this trip. To see the video click on the picture below.
