Companion Relationship with the Diocese of Swaziland
Swaziland is located in southern Africa, bordered by South Africa on the north, west, and south, and by Mozambique to the east. Slightly smaller than New Jersey, the country is home to 1.1 million people, more than 70% of whom live in rural areas.
Swaziland’s geography is varied and includes mountains, forests, rolling plains, and deserts. Impala, zebras, elephants, leopards, and lions can be found in the country’s wildlife reserves. Swaziland has retained much of its traditional culture. SiSwati and English are the official languages.
