Royal Rangers
We are authorized by Royal Rangers International to lead this Christian mentoring program, which promotes young people through scouting and adventure. In Eswatini, we train leaders, establish new outposts, and guide children and youth in their personal and spiritual development.
Eswatini
Eswatini is the smallest country in the southern hemisphere and is known for its great diversity. In April 2018, King Mswati announced, just in time for his 50th birthday, that the country would once again be called “Kingdom of eSwatini.” This name reflects the independence that has been in place since 1968. “eSwatini” translates to “Land of the Swazi” and connects to the history and culture of the country.

Ahmad El-Kaakour moved to Cape Town, South Africa, in 2011 to volunteer under the Royal Rangers National Directors, Tammy and Gerhard Uys, for six months. During his time volunteering, the team from Cape Town made the long drive to Bulembu, Swaziland, to help run children’s camps. Upon driving into Bulembu for the first time, Ahmad felt the Lord calling him to this small town. During the six weeks they were in Bulembu, the Lord stirred Ahmad’s heart, and he applied for a job in Bulembu. Alongside that, he met Allison, an American missionary, and a relationship quickly developed. Ahmad moved to Bulembu in October 2012 to teach and work alongside Allison in running the Royal Rangers and youth ministry.
