If you’re an NGO looking for new funding to support young people in your country, this guide is for you. We’ll discuss some of the some of the biggest donors in the field and how your organisation can apply for support.
The Micheal and Susan Dell Foundation
Inspired by their passion for children and by a shared desire to improve the lives of children living in urbanpoverty, Michael and Susan Dell established their Austin, Texas-based foundation in 1999.In its early years, the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation focused its efforts on improving education and children’s health in Central Texas. But within a few short years, their reach expanded, first nationally and then globally. To date, the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation has committed more than $925million to assist nonprofit organizationsworking in major urban communities in the United States, South Africa and India.
The Foundation focuses on opportunities with the greatest potential to directly and measurably transform the lifelong outcomes of impoverished urban children around the globe. It operates three major funding programsin Urban Education, Childhood Health, and Family Economic Stability. The Foundation has no geographic restructions on its grand funding meaning that qualifying organisations from every country can apply.Applications are accepted all year round.

Child Health Foundation
The Child Health Foundation was established in 1985 as a non-profit, public charity to prevent and treat life-threatening communicable diseases of infants and children in the United States and abroad. The Foundation’s mission is “to save the greatest number of children’s lives at the lowest possible cost.” The Child Health Foundation operate independently, seeking and promoting more effective, easily-delivered and less-expensive methods to prevent illness and death of children, such as oral rehydration therapy to prevent dehydration, immunizations, and breastfeeding.
The organisation’s programs focus on three core areas: Research, Professional Medical Education and Outreach, and Public Education. Recently funded projects supported by the Foundation include a scheme to inTanzania to make clay pots to protect water from contamination; Improving personal hygiene in the communityin India; and establishing rain harvesters at schools in Uganda.

The Global Fund for Children
The Global Fund for Children aims to transform the lives of children on the edges of society—trafficked children, refugees, child laborers—and help them regain their rights and pursue their dreams. Since 1997, the Fund has reached 8 million children worldwide.Global Fund for Children invests in grassroots organizations that enable the most vulnerable children in their communities to thrive. Strategic support helps grantees achieve their vision, become sustainable, and reach even more children in need.
Last year the Global Fund for Children reached 1 million children and aim to reach 10 million by 2015. The Fund’s work has transformed children’s lives around the world with thousands of children going to school instead of to work. Thousands more are protecting themselves from HIV, escaping the bonds of slavery, and getting the childhood they deserve.
Since 1997, we have invested $25.6 million in more than 500 grassroots organizations in 78 countries worldwide. The Fund aims to maximise donors’ investment in the developing world.
Grantees of the Fund will have the entrepreneurial vision and passion to transform their communities. They also prefer to collaborate with organisations that can be classed as home-grown, established, innovative, nimble and resourceful. The Global Fund for Children accepts grant applications all year round. For more information and to apply click here.

A great number of youth in our rural communities drop out of school every year and many others have never seen inside of classroom at all. Many of them at the age of 15 years and above, have no hope to go to school unless guided.
Our strategy is to construct a rural Technical Training Center and a rural Agricultural Training Center for Tropical Agriculture. We are sure these courses will improve their lives.
