About this grant
Ikhala Trust works in poor communities of the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa to support small community-based initiatives through small grants and relevant training opportunities. Over the last two years, the grantee’s grantmaking assisted these communities on various issues including health promotion, home-based care support, and the promotion of entrepreneurial activities. This general purpose grant increase will support the grantee to conduct action research on the different ways in which asset-based and citizen-led community development approaches have been used by community foundations and other indigenous grantmakers in South Africa.
