Q: Hi FirstStep.me, I am in need of finance for my studies in Swaziland, please can you send some information.

A: Swaziland, is a tricky and very topical debate in terms of education. However in terms of what information is available for education funding for Africa there is a lot of information out there. We did find one condensed website which represents grants that are facilitated for African areas.
