difference between for and of

Hello everybody
Can somebody help me with the sentences below. Both seem OK to me but is there a difference in meaning between using for or of?
The future for children in Africa is better than 10 years ago.
The future of children in Africa is better than 10 years ago.
Thanks

Hello, Janice. The meanings are the same. Learners tend to use 'of' where native speakers would use 'for'.
