Get Involved!

Want to get involved in helping the children of Swaziland? Well, here's how you can!

Host a Fundraiser

Fundraisers are our greatest source of donations. If you are interested in hosting a fundraiser to benefit Swazi Legacy, please contact us.

Donate

Donations and proceeds from our fundraisers go directly to support Manzini Youth Care and the McCorkindale's Orphanage in Swaziland. Everyone involved with Swazi Legacy works on a voluteer basis. They do not receive compensation, nor do we pay fees for fundraising efforts. You can be assured that your money will be going to children who need it.

Donations need not be money. We gladly accept non-perishable supplies that would be of use of the children of McCorkindale's Orphanage. We also accept donations of goods that can be used as part of our events and fundraising activities.

Keep in mind that many employers support matching gift programs and will match any charitable donation made by employees. Check with your Human Resources Department for more information.

Volunteer

We are always interested in meeting people that are willing to help our cause. If you are interested in helping to plan and carry out our fundraising activities, please get in touch with us.

Visit Swaziland

Besides being an adventure of a lifetime, tourism also helps to boost the economy of Swaziland. What better way to learn about the plight of the Swazi people than to witness it firsthand?

You can find more information on the Swaziland Tourism Authority website.

Accomplishments

In 2011 we made great strides in our effort to support the children of Swaziland. Here are some of our major accomplishments:

• Raised over $40,000 for McCorkindale's Orphanage, doubling the amount from the year before.
• Initiated a poster competition at Eastchester High School as a means of increasing awareness.
• Held our 2nd annual fundraising dance.
• Celebration of Swazi Day at EHS resulted in an increase in awareness of the global inequities that exist in our world and students raised enough money to send two kids to high school and two kids to elementary school.
• Fr. John Thompson, director of MYC in Swaziland, visited New York in September and met with the committee and also visited the students at EHS. He shared many stories with them, explaining what life is like in Swaziland and how they can get involved.
