Literacy Fund - Wilbur and Niso Smith FoundationFunds for NGOs in Sub Saharan Africa Activities:
Education Across the world, there are currently 114 million young people lacking literacy skills. Literacy is the pathway to a better quality of life. It has the power to improve health and diminish poverty for individuals, families and communities, and is fundamental to economic and social progress. We want to help ensure global literacy levels continue to rise, partnering with organisations in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa to provide opportunities which allow young people to fall in love with reading and writing. THE LITERACY FUND:The Literacy Fund is open for application. We invite proposals from organisations working or based in Sub-Saharan Africa, undertaking projects to increase literacy levels in young people. You may apply for a grant of up to £2,500 GBP. We believe that the value of a storybook is equal to that of a textbook and seek applications that make a creative case to increase literacy levels. In line with our wider charitable objectives, we will prioritise proposals which use the broad nature of adventure writing to achieve their aims. You can see what we define as adventure writing here. Deadline for submissions: 21st September 2017 Trustees decision: October 2017 Work to take place: November 2017 – November 2018 Please read the full guidelines, which include eligibility criteria, before contacting the Foundation with any enquiries.
