Additional Information / Shotlist When Fikile Ngwenya was hired as a field driver for Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in Shiselweni, Eswatini, she was thrilled. She faced questions and criticism as a woman in this non-traditional occupation, but she enjoys being a confident role model for her community.

Around one-third of adults in Eswatini (former Swaziland) are currently living with HIV, and many of them are co-infected with tuberculosis. Médecins Sans Frontières supports the Ministry of Health by working on reducing the transmission of these diseases and improving treatment. The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected the lives of patients with HIV, tuberculosis and non-communicable diseases.
