A project of the Government of the Principality of Monaco, LIFSA is supported by ILLIS Monaco, the French and Swiss embassies in South Africa, the Alliance Française of Johannesburg, and the Government of the Principality of Monaco.
The fund targets children (under six years old), youth, and women in its work with partners and beneficiaries for the benefit of civil society in Johannesburg’s townships.
This programme is taking place in a situation where local associations’ ability to aid the most vulnerable populations, particularly children and girls, has been diminished by poverty and unemployment in South African townships, which have been exacerbated by the health crisis. The Alliance Française of Johannesburg has been entrusted by the Government of the Principality of Monaco with the management of the call for proposals due to its strength in managing micro-project financing for civil society.
LIFSA seeks to find and fund community-based projects that specifically target at-risk children, youth, and women in Johannesburg townships.
