Mission Statement
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 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.
