INTERNATIONAL INITATIVE TO END CHILD LABOR / SPRING 2012 EMILY GRANTS

Background:                                                                                                              Grant Amounts:  12 mini-grants up to $500

The International Initiative to End Child Labor (IIECL) and the Emily Sandall Foundation are announcing 12 mini-grant opportunities available to individuals, schools, and non-governmental organizations worldwide. The theme for this round of grants is to support research and information gathering, documented by photos or video on worst forms of child labor that exists in local communities. However, applications that focus on other strategies to end child labor will also be considered.

The research should include:

  1) factors that contribute to the targeted worst form of child labor;
  2) estimate of the level and extent of child labor in the targeted geographic area;
  3) photos or video that document the research on the situation of children engaged in the targeted worst forms of child labor;
  4) proposed strategy to address one or more of the contributing factors to the targeted form of child labor; and
  5) identification of key stakeholders who could play a role in eliminating the targeted form of child labor in the geographic area.

Eligibility:

If you are a young person, teacher, school or NGO working with children and/or youth and need a small amount of funds to support a project idea to help end exploitative child labor, let your ideas be heard. In collaboration with the Emily Sandall Foundation, ECL will be awarding 12 Emily grants in the spring of 2012.

Grant Amounts:  12 mini-grants up to $500

Deadline: 31 March 2012
