We strengthen local organisations by providing capacity building, participatory grant-making, and institutional support.
At the heart of sustainable change lies the power of communities to drive their own development. Our approach strengthens local organisations, equipping them with the skills and resources needed to design and implement initiatives that address power imbalances and foster social justice.
Our work focuses on building strong, well-governed community organisations while enhancing their ability to secure and manage resources effectively. By promoting community ownership of development processes, we ensure that change is not only impactful but also long-lasting.
To support community-driven solutions, we provide funding through participatory grant-making models, including grant matching. We encourage innovation by enabling communities to pilot scalable interventions, ensuring their ideas have a broader and more sustainable impact. Additionally, we offer integrated grants to sustain and expand community-led development efforts.
Empowering communities means helping them take the lead in identifying and implementing their priorities. We facilitate needs assessments and priority setting, provide technical guidance, and support implementation. By fostering knowledge-sharing and collaboration, we create adaptable and impactful programs. Furthermore, we assist in developing and executing advocacy strategies, ensuring that community voices are heard and their concerns addressed.
Capacity building is central to our mission. We conduct in-depth assessments to tailor support to the specific needs of each organisation. Through customized training, mentorship, and online learning opportunities—particularly for youth programs—we strengthen organizations from within. Additionally, we provide grants to enhance organizational growth, ensuring that community partners have the tools and resources necessary to thrive.
Through these efforts, we empower communities to create meaningful and lasting change, driving development that is locally owned and led.
