Empowerment and Resilience

Champions of grassroots organisations

Under represented communities rely on grassroots, community-led organisations to deliver essential social services and advocate to protect the rights of marginalised groups in a society that was designed to discriminate and disadvantage them.

Civil society organisations are essential protectors of human rights, democracy, and champions of the values of plurality and equality. But, they face recurring difficulties securing the funds they need to operate. Instead of servicing, protecting, empowering and championing the communities they work for and with. Many civil society organisations are forced to spend their precious resources tracking down funding that runs out too quickly.

Armed with this realisation, ENAR and Foundation ENAR collaborate with partners in establishing the Empowerment and Resilience (ER) Fund supporting ENAR and its member organisations. The Empowerment and Resilience Fund is made possible thanks to grants and donations from individual and organisational donors.
