Seeds for the Future (Lesotho)

The charity is based in Wales and fund-raises to support community development in Ramabanta, Lesotho. Through our partners in Lesotho we support young people with secondary school scholarships which fund fees, uniform, books, travel costs & accommodation.We also fund monthly food parcels for vulnerable households, usually consisting of orphans or disabled people, who have no income.

From the charity's annual return to the Charity Commission, which asks every charity with income over £10,000 how much came from government grants and contracts. It does not say which part of government. These totals are separate from the named funders read from its accounts and the grants published on 360Giving, and are not added to them.

No grants to this charity appear in 360Giving data.

Only funders that publish their grants to 360Giving are included, and many do not. These are amounts funders awarded, which can differ from what the charity received in a given year, so they are shown apart from the accounts figures above.

6 trustees run the charity.
