Discover the 33 winning international solidarity initiatives from the Fall 2024 session of the “Territorialized Microproject Platform” program.
At the end of this year, 33 projects, out of the 146 initiatives submitted, benefit from a total budget of 409,756 euros, with grants ranging from 3,000 to 20,000 euros. A jury favorite project in favor of the development of blind football in Senegal and led by the Association for Sports Cooperation with Africa and Bamako even received an exceptional grant of 25,000 euros!
From the socio-professional reintegration of prisoners in Guinea to environmental preservation in the Philippines, this promotion is rich in diversity and innovation.
Geographically, Senegal and Madagascar are the most represented among the winners, with five projects in each country. Although three-quarters of the projects take place in Africa, we include regions that have never been or have little funding among the winners. This session marks the first project supported by La Guilde in Namibia and the third in the Philippines! Lebanon, Laos, Colombia, and Peru are also participating.
Across the diverse areas of intervention, the most represented is vocational training, followed by access to drinking water, then access to healthcare and basic education. Although many projects aim to address several issues simultaneously, it is important to note that sport is used in three winning projects as a tool for inclusion, education, and gender equality.
In addition, four projects involve volunteers, which demonstrates the constant, even growing, interest of young people in international solidarity.
The Guild funds a wide variety of projects in increasingly diverse geographical and thematic areas, thanks to the considerable and rigorous work of the team in charge of microprojects at the Guild, from the study of candidate projects to their final evaluation, including support and training. To make this possible, we thank our partners: the external instructors who support us voluntarily, the French Development Agency which has supported us for several years, the Regional Multi-Actor Networks which support associations, and the foundations, in particular the Agir sa vie foundation.
