SAHR Receives Organisational Development Grant to Advance Gender Justice
January 2025
SAHR is proud to announce the receipt of an organisational development (OD) grant from the Nagulendran Philanthropy Alliance [1], a philanthropic fund founded by Dorothy and John Nagulendran from Singapore. This generous grant underscores their commitment to building a more peaceful world by supporting the next generation of peacemakers.
The OD grant provides flexible, unrestricted funding, empowering SAHR to strengthen its operations and advance impactful programming, including its flagship Gender Justice Accelerator (GJA) program. Now in its third year, the GJA is a transformative mentorship initiative supporting emerging civil society leaders dedicated to amplifying the voices of marginalised and under-represented communities. The program equips these leaders with strategies, tools, and techniques to advocate for and support survivors of gender-based violence effectively.
“As a Singaporean who has worked in conflict and crises, I am proud that SAHR is partnering with the Nagulendran Philanthropy Alliance,” said Natasha Latiff, Founder and Director of SAHR. “SAHR’s gender justice fellowship program is accompanying some of the most impressive peacebuilders from all over the world, who are working strategically and tirelessly to create a more inclusive and equitable society. This grant will support us to visibilise our work widely so that we can support more civil society leaders.”
Board Chairwoman, Kelsi Kriitmaa, further emphasized, “As a female-founded organization, SAHR embodies the critical role women play in shaping sustainable law and policy reforms. This type of funding enables us to invest in our team, programs, and ultimately the communities we serve.”
Join us at the Basel Peace Forum this year, where Natasha Latiff will share insights about SAHR’s work and the future of gender justice. Learn more at Basel Peace Forum Speakers.
