Description

Organisations can only apply for project funding if:

  • the organisation has an educational objective and has a training centre with at least 5 years’ experience in vocational training.
  • the organisation is located in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania or Zambia and the project is being implemented there;
  • the organisation has sufficient classrooms and/or workshops to provide the vocational training;
  • the aim of the project is to improve (i) the quality of vocational training (ii) the accessibility of vocational training for vulnerable and disadvantaged young people (between 14 and 28 years old) and (iii) to increase their chances on the labour market;
  • a clear project plan and feasibility analysis can be submitted;
  • the application can be clearly substantiated;
  • the requested amount does not exceed € 5.000,- and

If these criteria are not met, we cannot process the application and you will not receive a response from the Foundation!

PLEASE NOTE

Project funding is only made available to:

  • recognized educational institutions that demonstrably make vocational training accessible to the target group, and
  • recognized local organizations with an educational objective that conduct informal vocational training and empowerment programs for the self-reliance of the target group.

The project costs are disbursed directly to suppliers in local currency.

We do not provide financial resources for the construction of new classrooms or workshops.

We also do not reimburse costs afterwards, so not costs that have already been made.

Oranisation Overview

The Foundation has a board, advisors and contact persons in the targeted countries who all work as volunteer. None of them receive a remuneration.

The board consists of a chairperson, secretary, treasurer, and board members without statutory position. The board is supported by two board advisers (school-management and finance) and three country advisers (in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda). The board meets every three  months and discusses the implementation of the policy plan and, in consultation with the advisers, identifies strategies, and divides actions to be taken.

One of the board members assesses the initial applications for scholarships and another board member the initial applications for project funding. The country advisers assess the final applications, and the board awards the scholarships and grants on that basis.

Intermediaries at educational institutions and local governments secure good and clear communication and prevent corruption and malpractice. The contact persons at educational institutions are, if necessary, asked to judge the urgency of the scholarship. The contact persons at the local government are asked to consent to the proposed project activity. The scholarships will be paid directly to the educational institution and the grants, in principle, directly to the supplier of goods.
