Direct Service Delivery & Capacity Building Grants

This project isn't just about providing funds to NGOs; embedded in its design is the goal of supporting NGOs in their endeavour to share knowledge, mentor and build the capacities of other organisations working to reach and educate the vulnerable child - the ultimate beneficiary of the UEE programme.

Under the project, NGOs will receive grants and technical assistance for providing educational services to address the basic education needs of at-risk children - defined for this purpose as children (especially girls), up to 14 years of age, who are either out of school or are in school but in danger of dropping out.

Projects funded under the grant must support NGOs working to improve the access, enrollment and retention of vulnerable children in schools or preparing at-risk children for potential entry into the formal education system.

REACH India will provide two types of grants:

• Direct Service Delivery Grants: REACH India will provide funds and technical assistance to NGOs for direct delivery of educational services to vulnerable children in formal and alternative educational programmes.

• Capacity Building Support Grants: REACH India will provide funds to enable NGOs to mentor and support grassroots NGOs in providing basic education services to vulnerable children in formal and alternative educational programmes. Organisations receiving Capacity Building Support Grants will help selected grassroots NGOs in a variety of ways: a) Strengthen the organisational and programmatic capabilities of the smaller, grassroots NGOs; b) Build networks of local and regional NGOs and through those networks build the capacity of local educational systems; and c) Provide sub-grants to the NGOs they are mentoring for direct service delivery.
