About Brighter Futures

Mission Statement

Brighter Futures SA is a non-profit organisation, established by a group of South Africans to deliver its mission statement via grants to "projects". As South Africans many of us were priviledged to have a sound education, which has served as a springboard to promising career opportunities - We would like to give those less fortunate the same opportunities.

Brighter Futures SA aims to raise funds by regular and/or one-off cash donations as well as fund raising events.

Beadwork

Fred-Footwear is using the skills of the beadwork ladies to decorate their sandals and as we are well into summer it is a busy time of year for them. The passing tourist trade has also increased which allows all the crafts to be displayed to a wider audience.

Community projects

The community projects are continuing to be successful! An industrial sewing machine has proved to be a vital tool in assisting with the sewing lessons. Some of the parents are managing to do sewing alterations and sew small items, which has helped them to generate a small income.
