Our Partners and Programs

Through small amounts we fund community-led solutions and strengthen capacities of grassroots organizations and actors.

We Support Community-led Solutions

We work with the most disadvantaged groups such as families in informal settlements and hard-to-reach rural communities, as well as disabled women in remote areas. The issues they prioritize include:

Women's rights and reproductive health

Climate change adaptation and sustainable development
