Women's self-help groups known as zenzele ("do-it-yourself") have existed in Swaziland since the 1950s, but until recently they received little recognition or support. In 1984 a survey of local-level development organizations showed that zenzele were among the most ubiquitous and self-sufficient local organizations in Swaziland. The survey further discovered a positive statistical correlation between the existence of zenzele groups and the number of other development organizations in the local community
