Discovering Latin America (DLA) is a UK registered charity (no. 1106705), with central operations in London.

Our mission is to improve the livelihood of marginalized people in Latin America, by sharing culture, art and creativity from the region with audiences in Europe.

Our aim is to alleviate poverty through improving the quality and access to education, health and services. Therefore, we are looking to identify feasible and grass root projects and initiatives that will enable people to have a better quality of life.

We are inviting registered charities working in Latin America to submit project proposals for our 2012 grant award scheme.

Priority Areas

We will prioritise projects that have an impact in at least one of the following areas:

• Education
• Health
• Water sanitation
• Rural Development
• Sustainable Livelihood

Eligibility

Discovering Latin America accepts applications from legally constituted non-profit organisations operating in Latin America with a representative in the UK.

Grant Amount

Applicants may apply for up to a maximum of £5,000.

We do not expect this to be the full cost of the projects and DLA has no objection if the project is also funded by others means.

How to apply
