Charles Hayward Foundation - Overseas - Main Grants
Details
They are looking to fund projects that improve the livelihoods of disadvantaged communities in Commonwealth Countries of Africa. Funding priorities are:
- Projects that adopt a holistic approach throughout all project stages and have a well defined ‘exit strategy’
- Projects being delivered at the grass-roots level through an established and proven delivery partner who is fully engaged with the local community
- Projects that clearly demonstrate the local communities involvement and that necessary training and education is in place to sustain the project beyond the delivery partner’s departure
They only fund projects in the following sub-categories:
- Clean water and sanitation.
- Development of sustainable livelihoods in the context of environmental and wildlife conservation.
- Self-sustainability through training in farming skills and other income generation activities.
