About ActionAid International

ActionAid International is a global movement of people working together to further human rights and defeat poverty. Founded in 1972, the organization operates in over 45 countries, focusing on empowering communities and advocating for social justice.

Our core mission is to support the most marginalized and vulnerable populations, ensuring their voices are heard and their rights are upheld. We believe in a world where everyone can live with dignity and have access to basic needs such as education, healthcare, and economic opportunities.

• Empowerment: We work directly with communities to empower individuals, particularly women and girls, to take charge of their lives and advocate for their rights.
• Advocacy: ActionAid engages in advocacy at local, national, and international levels to influence policies that affect the lives of the poor and marginalized.
• Emergency Response: In times of crisis, we provide immediate assistance and long-term support to help communities recover and rebuild.
• Sustainable Development: Our programs focus on sustainable development practices that promote environmental stewardship and resilience against climate change.

We envision a world free from poverty and injustice, where every person can enjoy their rights and live a life of dignity. Through partnerships with local organizations, governments, and communities, we strive to create lasting change and build a better future for all.
