eu can aid

eu can aid eu can aid (formerly Europe-Third World) is an association created in 1968 based in Brussels and is run entirely on voluntary basis.

We support small NGOs or local communities who do not have access to funding from major donors. Run entirely on voluntary basis, with funds raised through membership fees and other donations, "eu can aid!" promotes the solidarity of EU staff with less privileged people in developing countries.

This is how small, targeted grants can lay the foundations for long‑term economic and health benefits. A few examples reported by our partners during Q1 in 2026:

What a difference €5,600 can make 🌱
In rural Inida our funding is already creating impact through Kudumbam moringa project. 40 women farmers have been fully trained to grow, process and market moringa, building new skills and year‑round income opportunities. Despite tough monsoon conditions, seedlings were successfully planted and a clear marketing plan is in place. The ripple effects are growing fast: 1,300 secondary students trained, local NGOs engaged through a 3‑day workshop, and farmers accessing state‑supported drip irrigation.

Clean water, stronger communities 💧
In , DR Congo, our €4,000 grant helped transform daily life for over 2,500 refugees from Congo‑Brazzaville. Two protected water sources now provide reliable access to safe drinking water. Beyond infrastructure, Promotion Nutritionnelle et Sanitaire trained 20 community members to maintain the sources and promote hygiene, ensuring long‑term sustainability.

Stitching new futures for women in India 🧵✨
With a €2,600 grant, our support helped transform lives in rural Andhra Pradesh. Through a vocational tailoring project led by Adventure Aid UK and local partner Apt Social Service Society-India, 15 women living in extreme poverty completed six months of hands‑on training and each received a sewing machine and certification. Former agricultural labourers earning just a few euros a day are now equipped to generate steady income - from tailoring in the evenings to launching home‑based businesses or funding their children’s education.

During 2025, we have received hundreds of applications for micro-development projects. Such requests require little compared to some large aid projects, often no more than 5,000 euros. But the projects are driven by real urgency and a strong desire to improve the lives and well-being of local populations. We are proud to share a few successes from local NGOs reported throughout last year 💚

💧Game-changer for Kaina! Thanks to Development Organization - Kyedeo, a massive 100,000-liter rainwater tank now powers clean water access for 835 pupils and teachers at Kaina Primary School, ! No more 3 km walks for water and the school garden thrives even in the dry season.

⚡️Big win for Ombete, ! Awach kibuon- AKIHL CBO has delivered a solar-powered shallow well and a 10,000-liter water tower, bringing safe, clean drinking water to 450 people AND the local medical center!

🌱Empowering tribal communities in Odisha, In its first year, Sangrami Voluntary Organisation's Livelihood Development Initiative trained 200 women and youth farmers across five villages, boosting organic crop and vegetable production and generating an average income of 29,000 ₹ per farmer.

Help us do more in 2025 ✨

Every year we receive hundreds of applications for micro-development projects. Such requests require little compared to large aid projects, often no more than 5,000 euros.
The NGOs that reach out to us have urgent needs for water and electricity in schools, sanitary improvements in health centres and orphanages, facilities for vocational training, purchase of herds or seeds for agricultural activities.

We hope that in 2025 we can support more communities in need. Help us do more this year by making a donation, no matter how small https://www.eucanaid.eu/donate/ 🙏

Eu can aid! is run entirely by volunteers, so 100% of the funding we receive goes to the projects on the ground.
