David Moore Memorial Fund

1999 Awards were made to three applicants - from a very strong field: Corinna Csaky, who is studying for an MA in Social Anthropology at Edinburgh University, received an award to investigate the often 'unworkable' rural home life which forces so many children in Ecuador onto the urban streets. She is also planning to study how the existing urban street children cope with this migration.

Benjamin Powis, who is studying for an MA in Rural Development at the University of Sussex, also received an award to examine the obstacles that arise from including the poor and disenfranchised into the rural development discourse - as a result of India's programme of decentralised planning.

Emma Wossknow, who is studying Sociology at Edinburgh University, was given an award to look at the relationship between children's education and labour in the Sindhuli district of Nepal.
