Living The Gospel Where It´s Least Expected But Most Needed.

At Abide Well, we believe that transformation begins with presence and grows through faithfulness, one step at a time.

Since 2017, we have walked alongside the people of Eswatini, serving where God leads and building what is most needed. What began as a one year volunteer trip became a long term mission to see communities strengthened, dignity restored, and hope made real.
Through our Building Program, we have provided safe homes for vulnerable families, especially elderly women and orphaned children, offering security and a renewed sense of belonging. Our Feeding Program ensures that young students receive consistent and nutritious meals each day through partnerships with schools and local farmers. The Chicken Farming Initiative equips local farmers with tools, training, and support to create sustainable sources of income and nourishment for their communities.
Most recently, our Building Hope initiative was launched in partnership with Bulembu Ministries to help reintegrate orphaned children into safe and loving families by building or repairing homes for their return.
This page shares the impact of your generosity. Every home built, every meal served, and every child welcomed into family tells a story of God's faithfulness and the beauty of what we can build together.

More Than Chicken

More Than Chicken

We’re excited to share that we’re adding our 6th chicken farmer to the Abide Well feeding program in Eswatini. This new partner is a single mother of four who recently grieved the loss of her own mother, a woman who was deeply rooted in the community. Her story is not uncommon. Many of our farmers have faced hardship, loss, and sacrifice. And yet, they continue to show up with resilience, purpose, and faith.

Through their work, we’ve now served over 14,000 chicken-based meals to children across three schools and the Bulembu orphanage. These aren’t just numbers. These are real meals served by real people, feeding real children. 

For us, this is more than food. It’s a ministry of dignity and restoration. We want to see families thrive. We want our farmers to flourish. And above all, we want their work to glorify Jesus.

When we support a farmer, we’re not just delivering poultry, we’re planting hope. And as each farmer provides for their family and community, they become part of something far bigger than a meal.

Our newest chicken farmer - Nomsa Zikalala - Is not just a a cog in the machine to get us to 25,000 meals served this year, she is part of our mission.

Thank you for being a part of this mission with us as well.
