Swaziland Schools Projects

So that over 200 children from the poorest communities can attend school. Only if these children receive an education will they have any chance of escaping poverty. Fees have to be paid for all children attending school (except orphans) and the bursaries help the poorest. The Swazi government pays all the teachers' salaries, so the fees are for things such as books, administration, electricity and school meals. The fees are the equivalent of about £45 a year (primary) and £300 a year (secondary). If the fees are not paid the children are not allowed to attend school. There are signs that the government is starting to put more money into the education system but the Charity will need to continue to raise money for bursaries for many more years.
