Grassroots Learning
Community-rooted programmes that build the capacity of people to serve and strengthen their own neighbourhoods.
Grassroots learning is the engine of locally-led development. It cultivates the knowledge, skills, and commitment that allow ordinary people to become protagonists of progress where they live — teachers, organisers, and builders of community life.
Rather than importing solutions, this work releases a community’s own capacity, multiplying impact far beyond what any single grant could achieve.
What This Supports
Curriculum development and facilitator support for community learning.
Operational funding for grassroots, capacity-building programmes.
Networks that connect local programmes for shared learning across regions.
Grants in this area go to the people and organisations closest to the work — those best placed to use them, and to deepen the ownership of the communities they serve.
