Swaziland has #1 HIV rate in the world and The Luke Commission alleviates suffering and provides hope.
The Luke Commission was founded in 2004 by Dr. Harry and Echo VanderWal to take medical missions to the bush in Swaziland, southern Africa. Since then, the VanderWals have served in Swaziland seven terms; conducting more than 50 mobile clinics annually throughout the country. The Luke Commission’s mission is to offer healthcare to those in rural areas who cannot reach medical facilities due to poverty, lack of transport and resources. The Luke Commission functions as a Mobile Outreach Facility. We are able to reach pockets of Swaziland that are untouched by traditional health care facilities/structures.
The Luke Commission is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization from the United States of America. It is funded by individuals and churches in U.S.A. and Canada, who donate their time and their money to buy medical supplies, medications, eyeglasses, and clothes. In turn, these are given free to the Swazi people treated at the mobile clinics.
