South Asia Women Foundation India, SAWF IN as the national women’s fund of India, is cognizant of the ravages of COVID-19 on marginalized communities, particularly women and trans groups. As one of the first steps in addressing the needs and priorities of women's groups in the context of COVID, they are happy to announce a call for individual fellowships on building economic recovery and resilience through ecologically sustainable strategies. Through the fellowship programme, SAWF IN aims to support women and trans* led interventions on building economic resilience but in a manner that is also ecologically sustainable.
