Simmons Grants

Information

A small number of grants in the region of £1,000 to £1,500 are made annually to projects that work to enable rural young people overseas to live self-sufficiently.

Requests for grants should come from the organisation managing the project, with evidence of active Quaker support. The organisation need not be Quaker-run, but projects supported should operate within appropriate principles including financial and environmental sustainability.

Projects

• a project to provide uniforms and additional items for secondary school pupils in Rwanda.

Last year we funded:

• an education and gender rights programme for teenage girls in Centocow, South Africa (PDF)
