what we do
Women's rights
ActionAid sets high priority on women’s rights because we believe that gender inequality, in and of itself, is an injustice we must fight.
HIV and AIDS
Working at community, national and international levels, we campaign for the right to life and dignity in the face of HIV and AIDS.
Corporate accountability
We are campaigning for new UK and international laws to make multinational companies accountable for their impact on local communities and the environment.
Where we work
ActionAid works in over 50 countries worldwide. Find out about our work across the globe.
Emergencies and conflict
We provide immediate relief in emergencies, we also set up long-term projects to help the most vulnerable people rebuild their lives, their communities and livelihoods.
Aid and debt
The World Bank, IMF and rich donor governments are not living up to their development commitments. Poor countries need more & better aid, with 100% debt cancellation now.
