Supporting Organisations That Are Creating Change
Dignity is closely connected to the conditions in which people live, learn, work and participate in society.
Work With Dignity supports grassroots organisations working with communities across areas including women and girls’ empowerment, education, leadership development, gender justice, health, livelihoods and social inclusion.
Our support goes beyond organisations. It reaches the communities they serve.

Why We Support Grassroots Organisations
Local organisations often understand their communities in ways that larger institutions cannot.
They work close to the ground — with girls, women, young people and communities navigating barriers around education, opportunity, gender, safety, livelihoods and participation.
Through our support, we aim to strengthen initiatives that help communities build confidence, capability, leadership and greater agency.

From grassroots organisations to community-led change, our support reaches where it matters most.
Dignity is a collective responsibility.
The organisations we support work on different issues and in different communities. What connects them is a shared belief in creating greater opportunity, agency and dignity for people who are often underserved or unheard.
Their work strengthens communities. Our support helps strengthen their work.
