BIG: Thousands of disadvantaged people in Africa, India and Asia will be helped to build more sustainable futures following funding of more than £6.7m from the Big Lottery Fund (BIG), announced last week.
Sixteen UK-based organisations have been awarded grants from BIG’s International Programme, which supports projects that tackle the root-causes of poverty and deprivation and help people to improve their life chances. Among the 16 grants, five are going to projects that will help people rebuild their lives after the Asian Tsunami in 2004.
