About Our Founder
Kristina DelaFlor, co-founder of Eswatini Angels, leads the non-profit with a focus on gardens and nutrition, balancing her home responsibilities with significant contributions to the organization. In a decade of commitment, she spearheaded 13 nutritional garden projects in Eswatini, making 25 trips. Beyond statistics, her impact extends to empowering lives through a year-long clinical study with the Baylor clinic, addressing children with HIV.
Outside philanthropy, Kristina actively engages globally as a member of the International Women’s Association. Her diverse roles as a mother, homemaker, and caretaker showcase the depth of her character.

Vision
Cultivating a future where every individual in the Kingdom of Eswatini thrives with food security and embraces self-sustainability through our nutritional gardening initiatives.
Mission
Eswatini Angels is dedicated to establishing self-sustaining nutritional gardens that empower and nourish the lives of vulnerable groups, especially children, within the Kingdom of Eswatini.
Objectives
Our objectives include enriching communities, improving dietary intake, and building a resilient foundation for a future where no child goes hungry in Eswatini.
Our Faith
Guided by the belief that teaching sustainable practices is the key to lasting change, we strive to address food insecurity by creating indigenous gardens, fostering community engagement, and providing hands-on nutrition education.
Target group
We aid vulnerable children, individuals, and families across the four districts of the Kingdom of Eswatini, each overseen by a distinct Chief. Amid thousands of households, a significant number, led by “children raising children” or grandparents (Gogo), face daily food security challenges. Our primary focus is supporting these children and care centers that provide daily meals for hundreds of children.
What we are about
Eswatini Angels is a community-based initiative that encourages community engagement widely in indigenous gardening and sustainable living.
Founded in December 2013, it is currently registered as an NGO in the United States of America and Eswatini.
- We provids food security by enriching indigenous nutritional gardening programs for various underserved communities, schools, senior centres, and residential centres located in food deserts, throughout the kingdom of Eswatini. We work to enrich communities with farm-to-table activities, environmental awareness, nutritional education, farmers markets, produce donations, and more.
- Our organization also provides hands-on nutrition classes to students in both their youth-based and adult-based garden programs through partnerships with expert nutritionists in the community.
- Additionally, a community gardening program has been shown to reduce food insecurity, improve dietary intake, and strengthen family relationships.
