Eswatini for Positive Living (ESWAPOL) is a Swazi NGO that was formed in 2001[1] by Siphiwe Hlophe and four other HIV-positive women.[2] ESWAPOL provides counselling and education, and seeks to improve the living conditions of people who are affected by or infected with HIV in the rural areas, many of whom are women. The organisation has over 1000 members, mostly women,[3][4] and is highly active in e.g. challenging the policies of the Swazi government on its AIDS and Women's Rights policies.[5][6][7][8][9]
It is a partner of the UK Charity Positive Women.[10]
