ActionAid is an international anti-poverty agency whose aim is to fight poverty worldwide. Formed in 1972, for over 30 years we have been growing and expanding to where we are today - helping over 13 million of the world's poorest and most disadvantaged people in 42 countries worldwide.
We work with local partners to fight poverty and injustice worldwide, reaching over 13 million of the poorest and most vulnerable people over the last year alone, helping them fight for and gain their rights to food, shelter, work, education, healthcare and a voice in the decisions that affect their lives. |

At ActionAid we take advantage of our 30 years of knowledge and experience in fighting poverty. We apply the following principles to all our work:
* we work together with poor people, local partners and organisations in combating poverty
* we focus on fighting against the causes of poverty, not just the results.
We have prioritised five areas of work where we can make the most difference: education, hiv and aids, food rights, emergencies, women and girls and governance. |
