Please pray for SCU to train professional Christians while improving quality of education and health care in Swaziland. We need to build more classrooms ($25,000/classroom) and laboratory equipment. We also need dedicated and passionate faculties and staff. The university provides salaries, one way flight (economy), medical aids, and pension benefits. Any type of support or donations (finance, laboratory equipment, textbooks, and etc.) would be highly appreciated.
