Schooling and Education
Education in Swaziland is not free beyond grade 7. JAbU provides scholarships for youth who strive to graduate high school. For those wanting to reach further, JAbU connects students with individuals and organizations such as St. Andrews who provide scholarships for Swazis seeking higher education. With the help of our partners, JAbU is striving to put these students through school.
