Siza Grants
“Siza" is a Zulu word that means assistance or help, and creates a sense of community and collective care
This crisis response grant provides flexible funding to small grassroots and unregistered groups in building sustainable solutions in crisis and conflict areas. We refer to conflict areas not only as those experiencing civil war but forgotten conflict areas, and areas that aren't considered as being in conflict but are experienced as such by women, girls and gender-diverse persons there. It will support responses before, during and after crises.
