About our Microgrants

GHSEN microgrants are intended to support health clinics in sub-Saharan Africa and improve services, infrastructure, or patient outcomes, particularly those with limited diagnostic capacity and chronic resource gaps.

The $1,000 grant can be especially impactful for purchasing essential equipment like blood pressure cuffs and glucometers, strengthening cold-chain reliability for vaccines and medications, and stocking essential medications, but applicants are welcome to propose their own strategy for use of these funds.

The microgrant will be awarded on a competitive basis.
