How to get support

We give grants to organisations. We do not pay grants straight to individuals. If you need help for a person or a family, use the referral form.

  1. Name the need

    Literacy and learning, a skill that can earn an income, water and sanitation, healthcare, or relief after a flood, drought, or other crisis.

  2. Send a referral

    Tell us the area and what is needed. Do not send identity documents.

  3. We reply

    If a funded partner covers that area, we pass the referral on. If we cannot help, we say so.

Send a referral

We are not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.
