At Imbita, we believe that empowering women and youth is the foundation of a resilient society. We work at the grassroots level, providing accessible financial services, tailored business training, and sustainable livelihood opportunities. Our initiatives reach thousands of women, particularly those in rural and marginalized communities, helping them achieve financial independence, contribute to family stability, and drive local economies.
Our programs are deeply rooted in a vision for sustainable development that aligns with Eswatini’s priorities and the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). From supporting smallholder farmers with climate-smart agricultural practices to facilitating self-help groups that enable women to save, invest, and thrive together, our work extends beyond financial services. It fosters personal agency, collective action, and lasting change.
Imbita SWFT is more than a financial trust; it is a catalyst for transformation. Through partnerships with local, national, and international stakeholders, we continue to innovate and expand our reach, bringing hope, opportunities, and self-sufficiency to Eswatini’s most vulnerable communities. With each loan, each training session, and every success story, we advance a mission that began over 30 years ago: to champion women’s rights, build resilient communities, and inspire a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
