Orphan to Heir

Today we celebrate the incredible Rural Health Motivators who faithfully serve their communities across Eswatini! 🇸🇿

Rural Health Motivators are frontline community health workers who provide health education, promote disease prevention, support mothers and children, encourage healthy living, and connect families with vital healthcare services. Their dedication helps improve the health and well-being of some of the most vulnerable members of their communities.

At Orphan To Heir, we are deeply grateful for these hardworking men and women. Thank you for your selfless service, compassion, and commitment to helping your neighbors live healthier lives. Your work is making a lasting difference every day!

Today (16 June 2026) Rural Health Motivators from Ndangu Community were equipped with basic knowledge and practical skills to identify mental health concerns in the Ndangu Community, provide Psychological First Aid (PFA), offer supportive communication and refer individuals needing professional help.

🎉 Pickleball Is Growing in Mpolonjeni! 🎉

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to our recent Facebook fundraiser! Because of your generosity, the $550 raised has been used to purchase 10 pairs of athletic shoes for the youth who participate in pickleball at the Orphan To Heir Ministry Center. 👟❤️

For many of these children, proper athletic shoes are something they simply do not have access to. These shoes will be kept at the courts and shared among players, helping ensure that every child can participate safely and comfortably.

What started as a new activity has quickly become one of the most popular programs at the Hope Center! We now have 20 students regularly attending lessons and play, and interest continues to grow. Through pickleball, young people are learning teamwork, discipline, perseverance, confidence, and healthy habits—all while having fun and building meaningful relationships.

Most importantly, the pickleball courts have become a place where children and youth gather in a safe environment where they are loved, encouraged, mentored, and introduced to the hope found in Christ.

As participation continues to increase, we will likely need additional shoes in the near future to accommodate more players. The cost to provide one player with a pair of shoes is just $50, which covers a pair of athletic shoes, socks, and a storage box to keep the shoes safe and available for future use at the courts.

If you would like to sponsor a pair of shoes for a child, you can make your contribution through Venmo: -heir.

Every gift helps remove barriers to participation and creates opportunities for children and youth to grow physically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.

Thank you for helping us invest in the next generation of leaders in Eswatini—one child, one pair of shoes, and one life at a time. 🇸🇿🏓👟❤️

📖❤️ A Prayer Answered — God’s Word in SiSwati! ❤️📖

What an incredible day of celebration and gratitude!

Recently, through a Facebook fundraiser, the Orphan To Heir (O2H) family came together to raise $700 to provide Bibles for a small church in Eswatini. Many members of this congregation did not own a Bible in their own language. Today, that changed.

These brand-new SiSwati-language Bibles were distributed into the hands of children, youth, and adults who eagerly received the precious gift of God’s Word. The joy in the room was overwhelming as each person held a Bible they could read, understand, and treasure for years to come.

The impact of this gift extends far beyond today. God’s Word transforms hearts, strengthens families, disciples new believers, and brings hope that can influence generations to come.

“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” — Romans 10:17

To every person who prayed, gave, and shared our fundraiser: thank you. Your generosity has placed the eternal Word of God into the hands of people who are hungry to know Him more. The seeds planted today will continue to bear fruit for years and generations to come.

May God bless each of you for helping make this possible!

Students from Mpolonjeni High School joined the practice for the first time, promising to be regulars on Friday's and Saturday's.

Time to play Pickleball!

What started as a simple introduction to a new sport is quickly becoming an exciting movement among children and youth in southern Africa.

Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, and its popularity is beginning to spread throughout countries across southern Africa. The game is easy to learn, affordable to play, and accessible to children of all ages and skill levels. Most importantly, it creates opportunities for young people to gather in a positive, healthy, and encouraging environment.

At Orphan To Heir’s Ministry Center, pickleball is providing far more than exercise. It is helping young people develop confidence, discipline, teamwork, communication skills, and resilience. Through sport, children learn to set goals, handle both success and disappointment, respect others, and build lasting friendships.

United in Faith. United in Service.

These incredible men and women are more than our partner pastors—they are prayer warriors, shepherds, mentors, and community leaders who faithfully serve the people of their communities every day.

Many of them minister to the most vulnerable among us: widows, orphans, struggling families, and those searching for hope. They pray faithfully, lead courageously, and demonstrate the love of Christ through both word and action.

At Orphan To Heir, we are deeply grateful for these dedicated servants who stand on the front lines of ministry in Eswatini. Their commitment to sharing the Gospel, strengthening families, and caring for those in need is making an eternal impact.

Please join us in praying for these pastors and ministry leaders. Pray that God would strengthen them, encourage them, protect their families, and continue to use them as lights in their communities.

“The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” — James 5:16
