FCRA PROJECT: BVLF'S EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT GRANTS
Deadline: 31.12.2014
The Bernard van Leer Foundation funds and shares knowledge about work in
early childhood development.
The Foundation’s mission is to develop and support programmes that
create significant positive change for children up to the age of eight years
growing up in circumstances of social and economic disadvantage.
BvLF's vision is one of a world where, in spite of such circumstances,
young children reach their full potential.
For children’s human potential to be to realised, they need nurture that
is physical, social, emotional, intellectual, cultural and spiritual – and a belief
that the most appropriate care for young children comes from their parents,
families and communities.
BvLF currently support about 140 major projects and focus their
grantmaking on 21 countries including Africa, Asia, Europe and America.
Bernard van Leer Foundation considers proposal only if it addresses the
three issues (Care, Transitions and Diversity).
