Deadline: 10-Sep-21
Feed the Minds (FTM) is delighted to announce a new funding round of Small Project to empower people who have been marginalised in least developed, low income and lower to middle income countries through the Education for Change programme.
Projects are implemented by local non-governmental organisations or community-based organisations working to support vulnerable communities. FTM partners range from small organisations new to project management to larger organisations working across several countries. Some FTM partners are Christian; some are of different faiths while others are of none. Literacy is central to FTM’s strategy therefore all partners are asked to take literacy into consideration when designing their projects.
Themes
FTM supports practical education projects in three thematic areas:
- Economic Empowerment – projects that aim to improve the financial security and resilience of women and people who have been marginalised, as well as their knowledge of, access to and confidence in ownership and utilisation of economic resources. Specific projects include vocational training, agriculture, on-farm and off farm income generating activities.
- Citizenship – projects that aim to improve women and people’s knowledge and access to their political, civic, and human rights.
- Health – The projects aim to improve women’s knowledge of and access to safe healthcare and practices. Projects here include health education, prevention, and awareness-raising.
