The following email is being circulated by the UK-based international organization Deaf Child Worldwide (formerly known as International Deaf Child Society):

Dear colleagues,

If are in touch with local organisations that want to start new work with deaf children, then please forward the information below about the latest round of the Deaf Child Worldwide Small Grants Programme.

Thank you so much for your help with this.

English
Round 7 of Deaf Child Worldwide’s Small Grants Programme is now open. The deadline for completed concept notes is 30 May 2008.

The Small Grants Programme (SGP), aims to have an impact on the lives of deaf children, their families, service providers and policy makers by establishing quality partnerships with local organisations based in our priority countries within East Africa, South Asia or Latin America. We fund one to three year projects of up to £10,000 per year.

Go to www.deafchildworldwide.info/sgp for more information about how to apply.

If you applied to SGP in the past, then please note that in 2007, we carried out a strategic review and an evaluation of SGP. We have made some significant changes to the programme. These include:

  • Smaller geographic focus. Now only organisations based in East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda), South Asia (Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka), and Andean region of Latin America (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru) can apply.
  • New strategic focus areas. We are only looking for projects which work towards these key areas.
  • Cross-cutting themes. All projects must consider poverty, gender, the social model of disability and sexual health and HIV/AIDS.
  • Longer projects. You can now apply for projects that are from one to three years long.

Please e-mail info@deafchildworldwide.org if you have any questions or would like to discuss your project idea.

Se ha abierto la Ronda 7 del Programa de Pequeñas Subvenciones de Deaf Child Worldwide. El plazo final para la presentación de las notas conceptuales es el 30 de mayo del 2008.

El Programa de Pequeñas Subvenciones (PPS) busca tener un impacto en la vida de niños sordos, sus familias, proveedores de servicios y formuladores de política estableciendo para ello asociaciones de calidad con organizaciones locales con sede en nuestros países prioritarios en África Oriental, Asia del Sur o América Latina. Financiamos proyectos de uno a tres años de hasta £10,000 anuales.

Visiten www.deafchildworldwide.info/pps para mayor información sobre cómo postular.

Si ustedes postularon al PPS en el pasado, entonces tomen en cuenta que en el 2007 llevamos a cabo una revisión estratégica y una evaluación del PPS. Hemos hecho algunos cambios significativos al programa. Éstos son:

  • Foco geográfico más pequeño. Ahora sólo organizaciones con sede en África Oriental (Kenya, Tanzania y Uganda), Asia del Sur (Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistán y Sri Lanka) y la región andina de América Latina (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador y Perú) pueden postular.
  • Nuevos ejes estratégicos. Estamos examinando sólo proyectos que trabajen en pro de estos ejes clave.
  • Temas transversales. Todos los proyectos deben considerar pobreza, género, el modelo social de la discapacidad y salud sexual y VIH/sida.
  • Proyectos más largos. Ahora ustedes pueden postular con proyectos que tengan de uno a tres años de duración.

Si tienen alguna pregunta escríbannos a info@deafchildworldwide.org. Trataremos de responder lo más pronto posible, aunque recién podremos responder a indagaciones en español después del 7 de abril del 2008.

Sírvanse reenviar este email a organizaciones o colegas que ustedes consideren estarían interesados en esta oportunidad.

Best wishes,

Kirsty

ON BEHALF OF THE NETWORK OF MEME PRIVATE SOCIAL WELFARE INSTITUTIONS, & IN MY CAPACITY AS COORDINATOR, I HEREBY HIGHLY REQUEST FOR AN ESTABLISHMENT OF GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP IN DEVELPMENT BETWEEN US TO FOCUS ON TRAINING, INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES AND PROJECT ASSISTANCE APPLICATION FORMS, ESPECIALLY FOR THE DEAF, BLIND, AGEING AND CRIPPLED.

I am Andrea Shettle, editor of the We Can Do blog site where you left your recent comment.

The people responsible for the small grants for projects for deaf children is Deaf Child Worldwide, not We Can Do. I think you may have meant for your inquiry to go to the people at Deaf Child Worldwide, not We Can Do. I encourage you to follow the web links from the blog post above to the web site for Deaf Child Worldwide and follow their instructions for contacting them directly.

Life in developing world is totally different from that in developed world mostly in addressing afflicting points in one of the nations community as ;” Working with vulnerable children is a concerted effort,which needs a lot of hands to be put together, and a lot of ideas, And as well The orphan problem surely does not only belong to people with orphans.
It is everybody’s problem.”

The 10 years experience in caring for the orphans in a developing world, I have gone through a lot of tests /struggles without a funding person except the only 30 acres of land that has been the main and only funding source sustaining these kids who are beyond 150 in number. We use to plant maize, cassava, rice, sweet potato, yams, beans and groundnuts.

We sell part and survive on the balance as the sold part is for books, simple clothing and beddings for the kids,(that’s the life of Ugandan child and more worse in other developing world i.e.Zimbabwe.). Many disasters have befallen on us while the government has done very little to address them to the maximum which among others include, wars, floods, and thetotal poverty on the increasing number of community orphan child caused by different disasters. Orphans in the villages of the developing world can make everyone to shed tears including the administrations,( in having classes under tree shade, wearing rugs, and sleeping in congestions , risky for early mothers and others..) that’s why in Africa many fathers do a lot evil accts to the people they take care of (i.e.child sacrificing, human trafficking, and children soldiers e.t.c)

GEnerally it needs to develop everything, GOD blessed us with like Land,garden and farming sector to make us stand for the future helping the whole comunity, hence sending light to the world through targeting the young generation, ensuring that the big and free Land which we and other developing world have in plenty, fully provides both funds and foods for survival.(The Land requires DEVELMENT AND INVOLVEMENT OF OTHER VALUNARABLE GRUOPS OF THE COMMUNITY to focus on seeds planting only which shall be all placed in the sector and the out come will be making the orphans and other valunarable groups strugle with energy to servive and meet other requirements and on this target we expect to include the widows, single mother and disable in pre- project of sustainable agriculture and food security more advise needed on this paragraph).And as per now we are fully encouraging the next years activities.

And as my topic is, the developing world orphans are internationally forgotten with no one caring and for the few who cares they want to put us together at the same level with this who is in developed world. The center reached to 210 children/ orphaned people who joined the year 2008 and we have to maneuver to ensure that they’re not kicked out to street life as 2009 will bring more number due to the rising problems and difficulty in in developing world and caring for the orphan child that includes a lot emphasis in many areas OF LIVING. For us we think the only emphasis on the available matereials ( i.e Land ) may yield a lot in both food for survival and funds for other necessities but still.

We are looking for solution / advise to enable us achieve our laid strategies of caring for orphans since the situation at the center needs attention and as Uganda position in development needs total effort to sustain such centers. The given Advise shall be shared at the African Coutries Orphan and child traficking and living in 2009 meeting.

Can you advise Banunule orphanage administration on the way of taking
the orphans a step further? And what is your advice?

Thanks
