Welcome to Brighter Futures

Our aim is to raise funds and invest in educating and nourishing deprived South African children (many of whom live below the bread line) in the hope that they in turn are able to realize their full potential and develop into self-reliant and productive adults. We believe this empowerment will restore dignity and hope to their communities and achieve a Brighter Future for all in South Africa.

Brighter Futures SA is a registered charity, established by a group of South Africans to deliver its mission statement via grants to "projects". As South Africans many of us were privileged 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.

Brighter Futures South Africa was registered as a charity by the Charity Commission for England and Wales on the 6th May 2004 - Registered Charity No.1103629. We are also recognised by the Inland Revenue as a charity for tax purposes - reference number XR78448.
