We are
ecstatic to announce that we have been selected as a winning team of the Global
Resilience Challenge! Out of nearly 500 applications submitted, the Mahila Housing
SEWA Trust team (with 17 partners) was selected as one of eight winning teams. The Global Resilience
Challenge is a multi-stage design
competition designed to surface transformative resilience solutions to problems that threaten the
lives and livelihoods of the most vulnerable populations in the Sahel, Horn of
Africa and South and Southeast Asia.
Mahila Housing SEWA Trust (MHT) Team with 17 partners across South Asia will now receive up to $1 million in funding to implement our proposed solution in a way that can be scaled and adopted by others in the future. The solution MHT proposed, focuses on the 4 most pressing climate-related risks faced by the communities; heat waves, flodding, water scarcity and water and vector borne diseases. The proposed solution model would be community-based, women-led, integrated and partnership based, evidence based and will focus on the innovative communication strategies to promote community-level resilience actions.
"We are extremely happy to be the winners of the challenge. Through this challenge, we are aiming to build community-based climate resilience with a strong focus on women empowerment" said Bijal Brahmbhatt, Director of MHT.
