Welcome to Swaziland Schools Projects Website

In 1999 a group of volunteers in England, under John Tibbs’ leadership, began fund raising for schools in Swaziland. All the “Swaziland Primary Schools Project “money over the years has been sent to Jack Dobson in Swaziland for bursaries, buildings and equipment. 2008 saw the launch of the Swaziland Schools Projects, a registered charity.

In 2008 a teacher’s house was completed and in 2008-09 a Home Economics unit was built at St. Andrew’s School in Malkerns. It cost about £12,000.00 including laying on water, electricity and ceilings, as it is hot there in the summer and cold in the winter. Two store rooms were converted into a computer classroom and computers have been sent from Bedford.

The charity’s main aims are to promote education in Swaziland mainly by fund raising to help those who cannot afford the compulsory school fees through the Bursary Fund and to add classrooms, kitchens, teachers’ houses and toilets in six different localities (with the full approval and support of the local chiefs and their communities). Usually the local people give their time and work preparing the site and digging foundations and housing and feeding the builders. In two places water has been laid on with large tanks to ensure the water supply not only for the schools but also the local neighborhood.
