Action Aid International

Unverified non-profit organisation

An independent international organisation aiming to fight causes of poverty and social exclusion.

They focus on the people that others forget. People in poverty. People who face discrimination. People whose voices are ignored. They help people fight for the rights that they are denied. Simple things, like the right to eat. The right to stay on their land. To an education. To have a say in the decisions that shape their lives. They are not about giving handouts or telling people what to do, because in the long run we know that doesn’t work. Instead, they use their resources, influence and experience to help people find their own solutions.
