Our impact
By supporting mobilizations and movements in rural and urban areas, the Casa Fund strengthens organizations and helps in creating the conditions for relevant socio-environmental projects to be implemented in the diverse biomes and populations of South America.
Our impact,
in practice
We are very proud of the results achieved by our intense efforts in the last few years. The results and impacts of our support to organizations and groups are multiple and diversified, and we highlight the following: work visibility, institutional strengthening, expansion of the network of partners, local networking for decisionmaking processes, and self-esteem of involved actors.
This data is significant, as building the capacities of organized civil society, strengthening rights, qualifying organizations/groups for networking, community development and engagement, and networking with public policies, especially at local level, are priority strategies for the Casa Fund.

Children are also a representative group because of strong work at community level, involving families and school-age children.
