Welcome

The Swaziland Charitable Trust (the SCT) works for the people of the Kingdom of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), helping to develop a healthy and well-educated community. Collective and individual efforts are supported. The Trust’s long experience in the Kingdom and its local Board of Management ensure that assistance is responsive to local needs. Organisations, both large and small, can apply to the SCT for grants.

The projects we support are closely monitored and seen through to completion. The SCT most commonly offers grants to schools, community groups and charities in Eswatini. It operates an orphan support scheme and it acts as a conduit for other charities assisting Eswatini.
