Add to Preferred SourcesDFID’s Small Charities Challenge Fund (SCCF) is now open to organisations that have an income of less than £250,000 and provide life-changing support to those in need across the world.
Charities can access grants of up to £50,000 to help respond to global challenges such as improving girls’ education, tackling climate change, and promoting access to healthcare in the developing world.
“Every day, small British charities are working to save lives. Their commitment and passion is helping to reduce poverty around the world and deliver on wide-ranging priorities including education and health. We want to make it easier for them to access UK aid which will make a huge difference in their ability to deliver on the frontline,” said International Development Secretary Alok Sharma.
This new phase of funding follows a two-year pilot scheme which saw charities like Bristol-based Legs4Africa, use an SCCF grant to help in their work to support amputees in Africa.
Teach2Teach International, a small charity based in London which has also received an SCCF grant, trains unemployed young people in Ghana to become volunteer teachers and give something back to children in their neighbourhoods.
