Human Dignity Foundation (HDF) is a private, Swiss foundation established in 2004 and governed by a Board of Directors. HDF’s vision is a world where all children and young people are living with dignity.
Human Dignity Foundation invites organisations to respond to a Call for Proposals on child protection. The purpose of the call is to identify projects that will contribute to ensuring that ‘all children are safer at home and in the community’. The primary target group of the call is children between 10 and 18 years.
The geographic focus of the call is South Africa and India (Rajasthan, Gujarat, Bihar, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh and cities of Delhi and Bangalore only).
Key areas of focus are:
- Effective support to children who experience violence
- Prevention of violence against children
- Prevention of unnecessary separation of children
HDF is particularly interested in projects that:
- Address underlying causes of violence against children
- Support functioning of integrated protection systems
- Support families and communities to better care for children
- Support removal of drivers of institutional care
Applications are invited from non-government, not-for-profit organisations registered in the countries of focus. We are looking for organisations that have a proven track record and are providing effective solutions that put children directly at the core of their activities.
Applicants are invited to submit Concept Notes by 5pm GMT on 18th of April 2014 to info@human-dignity-foundation.org; the Concept Notes must be submitted using the HDF Concept Note Form.
