Changing Futures is a UK based charity that aims to provide financial and practical support to schools in Swaziland to improve the future of children disadvantaged by poverty and/or disease.
If you are willing to donate click here.
Our main support has gone to a rural primary school (Seven Holy Founders) near Manzini in Swaziland. We have built and equipped a kitchen, introduced a garden project, purchased maths, science, computer and home ecconomics equipment, electrified the school and repaired the roofs of the classrooms. We have also supported over 100 children through school in each year for the past 4 years. We are currently installing a new water colection system for the garden and a new computer lab. We have completed a number of other projects (see our Projects page). The situation in Swaziland is deteriorating and with your help we can do more. Please continue to support us in any way you can. |

£10 a month will ensure that at least six primary school children can attend school and get one meal a day. Every single penny donated is guaranteed to go directly to supporting education projects in Swaziland.

How You Can Help
1. Participate in our bursary scheme - £5/month will pay for a 6-year old to go to school for a year with one school meal a day. £10/month will pay for an 11-year old.
2. We have launched a new campaign to buy 100 pairs of shoes and 100 uniforms for primary school children. Shoes cost £7.50 and a uniform costs £15. If you are willing to buy a pair of shoes or uniform please use the donate button above.
3. If you are taking part in a sporting event or challenge in 2012 why not see if your friends and family will sponsor you for Changing Futures? We can help you set up a dedicated sponsorship page so that people can donate.
4. Collect your small change – stop those 1ps, 2ps and 5ps cluttering up your purse or filling your pockets and put them in a jar. When it is full give it to us or take the money to the bank and donate it to us.
