Earlier this year, the Community Architects Network (CAN) announced a call for applications for a new fellowship that was being set up to commemorate the work and spirit of the Pakistani architect, activist and community-mapper-cum-laude Perween Rahman, who was killed in Karachi on March 13, 2013. The fellowship would provide an extremely modest grant of $2,000 to at least 15 community architects or community-based builders to work with urban poor communities and their local support organizations on specific projects, within the ACHR network, for about six months.
The first round of fellowships were awarded to some really exciting projects. Applications are being invited for another round of fellowships in 2015. To know more about the fellowship, click here.
