About us.
Hlanganisa Community Fund is an intermediary grant maker which seeks to strengthen social accountability and promote human rights in pursuit of social justice for all. Hlanganisa’s approach to advancing social, gender and environmental justice is to intervene at grassroots level therefore influencing and anchoring our partnerships in rural communities. The partnerships are facilitated through:
- Grant-making
- Capacity building
- Organizational development and mentoring
- Advocacy
- Strategic sector strengthening
With over 15 years experience, Hlanganisa has been a champion for the rights of marginalized groups with a reach of over 800 community-based organizations whom we provided different types of training to. Our footprint spreads across Southern Africa, Malawi, Zimbabwe and Zambia. We have to-date disbursed over 55 million rands through sub-granting including emergency grants for humanitarian crisis response. More recently, the organization demonstrated great strength in the adaptability and responsiveness during the height of Covid-19 pandemic.
