A new £15 million pot of lottery funding has been opened up by the Big Lottery Fund for UK-based organisations that will work in partnership to help the most marginalised communities across the world.
BIG will award grants of between £1million and £5million for development work that has a particular focus of improving mother and child health, measures to prevent HIV/AIDS and mitigate its impact and education with an explicit focus on girls.
Under Round Two we will make £15 million available to fund projects that aim to deliver one or more of the following outcomes:
Organisations applying to the reopened Big Lottery Fund’s International Strategic programme will aim to tackle the causes of poverty and deprivation and bring real changes to the lives of the most disadvantaged people in the developing world.
They will specifically target geographical areas that are unlikely to meet the UN Millennium Development Goals: Sub-Saharan Africa, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and certain Indian states namely: Assam, Rajasthan, Bihar, Maharastra, Madya Pradesh, Orissa, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal and Jharkand.
