Rising Voices is accepting microgrant proposals for funding up to $4000 for global projects.

This funding opportunity is open to private individuals, groups, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

Our aim is to enlightening them on the disease pathology, prevention and ways to reduce the extent of damage caused by these disease and also educate families and the community at large on their role as the primary care givers. This will greatly reduce the mortality rate. We are seeking for funds to produce our documentaries on different diseases and relevant animated literatures.

  • International Union of Travellers (IUT)

    The above mentioned organization in Special Consultative Status with Economic and social Council UN system seeks to promote Citizen media outreach in Africa communities such as Ghana, Togo etc.

    IUT seeks to defend and protect travelers against all forms of illegal actions, and the misdemeanors of journey, bring to public attention problems that travelers face while embarking on a journey for the right solutions to be found.
    •To unite all road, air and sea transport groups, associations, societies, organizations, syndicates, trades unions, transport unions and agencies in charge of traveling and transportation activities under one umbrella for the realization of their objectives.
    •To help to sensitize, create awareness, inform and educate the general populace, especially the travellers and other road users, both local and international of the importance of getting deeply involved in ensuring safety, security, fairness and comfortable traveling in the United Nation countries.

    VISION

    For several years, now, travelers have been at the receiving end of transport operatives without directly involved in issues that affect their rights. IUT’s vision therefore is to create self-conscious traveling public that will monitor transportations activities and take care of its sympathy rights.

    Greeting from Aceh, Indonesia
    I am glad to apply for the grant since I have a grassroots woman magazine, called POTRET. POTRET is published monthly at the end of the month. Last January 11,2012 when POTRET celebrated its 11th anniversary, to give more spaces and opportunity for women worldwide to contribute. I hope I can get the small grant to help my work workable.

    Best Regard
