long-term difference to the lives of the most disadvantaged people.

We will make £30 million available to fund projects that aim to
deliver one or more of the following outcomes:
* Improved mother and child health
* Improved primary education, with a specific focus on girls
* Improved measures to prevent HIV/AIDS and mitigate its impact

International Strategic will fund projects in:

Maharastra, Madya Pradesh, Orissa, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, West
Bengal and Jharkand.

We will award grants of between £1 million and £5 million to lead
organisations, working with a range of partners within the UK and
overseas.
