Note from our Executive
Director

Welcome to our website!!!

Since inception of the organization in 2005, Baylor Foundation Eswatini staff and management have dedicate themselves to serve pediatric and adolescents in the entire Kingdom. The team worked hard over the years to ensure that no child dies due to AIDS and TB. Baylor Foundation Eswatini works hand in glove with the Government of the Kingdom of Eswatini to provide high-quality health care services, education and research aimed at improving lives of peadiatrics, adolescents and their families.

To-date, Baylor Foundation Eswatini has over 5,000 clients on HIV and TB treatment monitored by specialized health care professionals. We pride ourselves with a low lost-to-follow up rate and high rates of viral suppression amongst our clients.

Baylor Foundation Eswatini would not be successful if it was not for the generosity of donors and sponsors locally, regionally and globally. Strong partnerships are also created to improve health care services in country. Our appreciation goes to Ministry of Health for their strong leadership and comprehensive strategies to assist peadiatrics, adolescents and their families to live healthy and fulfilled lives.

We shall continue to advocate for innovation and equity in the fight against HIV and TB. We shall also address other public health threats to improve lives of Emaswati.

Thank you for showing interest in our website. We hope you get enough information about the organization and its work.  We also look forward to partnering with you.

Sincerely,
Khosi Dlamini, Executive Director
