educationhealtheconomic opportunity+4 more
Who can apply: Locally‑led community initiatives in Rwanda; projects are community‑designed and community must co-invest.
World Connect International is a community-led co-investment funder that backs locally designed solutions to poverty, rather than top-down programs. It works through country-based "power centers" in places like Guatemala, Ecuador, Rwanda, Malawi, and Nigeria, with a strong emphasis on indigenous communities, women’s empowerment, youth leadership, and grassroots economic opportunity. The funder tends to support practical, community-run projects in health, education, livelihoods, agriculture, and environmental protection, often through local partners and national advisory networks.
Small community grants and co-investments, typically around £3,500 on average, distributed through country programs and local partner networks. Giving appears ongoing and place-based rather than open, competitive grantmaking, with strong reliance on local sourcing, advisory boards, and community-led project selection.
