Africa-Press – Eswatini. Mothers, aunts and caregivers gathered at the Nhlangano Programme Location in a heartfelt engagement marking International Women’s Day, where women shared experiences, built resilience and explored solutions to challenges affecting their daily lives.
The session, held under the theme “Give to Gain,” brought together women from the community to discuss stress management, positive parenting and entrepreneurship. It focused on those caring for children who have lost parental support or are at risk, while creating a safe and open space for participants to express their struggles and learn practical ways to cope.
Led by Pastor Ms. Mkhonta, the engagement encouraged women to embrace change and adapt to the evolving realities facing families and communities. She emphasised the importance of resilience and urged participants to remain committed to nurturing and guiding vulnerable children.
For many attendees, the session went beyond discussion. It became a moment of reflection and connection, as women shared personal experiences of emotional and financial pressure while supporting their families. Others found encouragement in learning from one another and building a sense of unity.
Experts highlight that empowering women with skills and emotional support plays a key role in strengthening families and communities, particularly where women are primary caregivers. Programmes that promote positive parenting and small-scale entrepreneurship contribute to improved livelihoods and long-term social stability.
Participants were reminded of their strength, resilience and the vital role they play in shaping future generations. Many left feeling motivated and better equipped to apply the knowledge gained in their daily lives.
The engagement reinforced the importance of creating platforms where women can connect, learn and support one another, demonstrating that when women are empowered, communities grow stronger.
