In its encouragement of member churches and Christian organizations to undertake joint action in serving the needs of society, the Council brings a practical perspective to its work.&nbsp; It seeks to build self-reliance within the churches, empowering them through training to enable them to initiate and implement a range of development activities to help relieve and reduce poverty, especially in rural areas.<\/p>\n<p>CSC also plays a key role in raising awareness among the population on pertinent issues -environment, gender and HIV\/AIDS.&nbsp; The CSC views the killer pandemic HIV\/AIDS as the greatest threat of modern times to the Swazi Nation.<\/p>\n<p>The Council also provides training so that people in rural communities can develop the skills to pursue sustainable income-generating skills.&nbsp; This is an important contribution to poverty reduction outside the urban centers. &nbsp; The Council has been involved in building schools, teacher houses and providing clean water to communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","region":[20007,20035,20036],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Council of Swaziland Churches - Global Ministries<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/partner\/africa_partners_council_of_swaziland_churches\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Council of Swaziland Churches - Global Ministries\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Global Ministries has enjoyed a long relationship with the Council of Swaziland churches.&nbsp; The fundamental objective of the Council of Swaziland Churches is to coordinate the efforts of member churches and Christian organizations in furthering the unity of God&#8217;s Church &hellip; Read more\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/partner\/africa_partners_council_of_swaziland_churches\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Global Ministries\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-01-27T12:59:06+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/partner\/africa_partners_council_of_swaziland_churches\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/partner\/africa_partners_council_of_swaziland_churches\/\",\"name\":\"Council of Swaziland Churches - Global Ministries\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2014-12-22T00:08:53+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-01-27T12:59:06+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/partner\/africa_partners_council_of_swaziland_churches\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/partner\/africa_partners_council_of_swaziland_churches\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/partner\/africa_partners_council_of_swaziland_churches\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Partners\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/partners\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Council of Swaziland Churches\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/\",\"name\":\"Global Ministries\",\"description\":\"Global Ministries is a common missional witness of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the United Church of Christ.
