Deadline: 14 May 2017
The Waterloo Foundation (TWF) is currently seeking applications for its “World Development Grant Program on Water, Sanitation & Hygiene” to support programmes which take an integrated approach to addressing access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene.
TWF believes that access to clean drinking water, sanitation and improved hygiene is one of the core requirements to support the sustainable development of a community. Without access to these basic resources people can spend a huge amount of time every day collecting water, whilst water-borne diseases will remain prevalent.
TWF recognise that there is a need for improved water, sanitation and hygiene in institutions, as well as in communities. Where projects are working in school environments, they should consider the needs of girls and women, and specifically seek to address menstrual hygiene management as part of any project. In a school setting this should include appropriate latrine facilities for girls and female teachers, as well as increasing students’ understanding about menstruation and their access to sanitary products.
Funding Information
- The majority of grants in this programme will be for a total of over £50,000, although very occasionally the foundation will provide grants of over £100,000 per year.
- Grant durations are usually between 1-3 years.
Eligibility Criteria
- Funding support to UK-based charities, many of whom work in close partnership with smaller local NGOs based in the countries in which they operate.
- Applicants must therefore make reference to the following in their application:
- evidence from previous work undertaken to indicate that your organisation has a history of delivering successful integrated water, sanitation and hygiene programmes
- evidence that your improved water sources and sanitation infrastructure have remained operational over a number of years
- evidence that improvements in the use and management of water and sanitation infrastructure, and hygiene practices have been sustained over a number of years
