--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Peace Child International has created the "Be the Change!" Programme
(BTC!) to support young people to get involved in local community
action and development projects. They aim to encourage young people to
BE THE CHANGE they want to see in their communities and to make it
possible we created a small scale grant programme for youth-led
projects.
If you are below 25 years old and have a project that concentrates on
the development of your community at a local level, take a deep look
in the requirements for the grant programme and submit your proposal
to Peace Child International.
The Be the Change! desk officers will guide and advise you to identify
your own local issues, priorities and problems and also help you to
provide your own solutions.
The kind of projects supported:
are projects that are genuinely youth-led
are projects, which benefit the community rather than an individual
need (no support for school fees or personal trips)
are projects up to $1,000 with a detailed budget
have two experienced and committed adults to mentor the project:
following the principles of the co-management
have measures of achievement (indicators) by which projects may be
evaluated
can be either income-generating (funds to start up a small business
and creating jobs) or it can be non-income generating (for health,
education, environmental clean-up or community improvement) social
programmes which are of genuine and lasting community value.
Deadline: 31 October 2007
If you fulfil these requisites make sure to download the application
form the website and send your proposals to the appropriate desk
officer at Peace Child International before the deadline:
