The initiative
Pass on the Baton
Pass on the Baton is a symbolic handover of responsibility, opportunity, and hope from one generation to the next.
Every generation has a responsibility to prepare the next. The Pass on the Baton initiative represents the transfer of care, leadership, opportunity, and responsibility from today's parents, leaders, businesses, and communities to the children who will shape Eswatini's future.
By supporting children, strengthening families, and empowering communities, we are not just helping today's generation thrive, we are passing on a stronger baton for those who will follow.
Why does this matter?
Every child deserves to grow up in a safe and caring family environment. Yet many children and families in Eswatini face challenges that threaten their wellbeing and future. Together, we can strengthen children, families and communities so every child can thrive.
- Strong children
- Strong families
- Resilient communities
- Self-sustaining households
- A stronger future for Eswatini's children
