ActionAid's alternative wedding list
Getting married?
If you already have enough toasters, kettles and saucepans to last a lifetime, why not ask family and friends to donate to ActionAid instead of giving a gift?
By setting up a wedding page with ActionAid you will ensure that the happiest day of your life can become a window of hope for thousands of the world’s poorest people.
Your wedding donations will provide safe water, healthcare, education and a regular supply of food to some of the world's poorest people.
What your money could do
£25 could train a child in Afghanistan to become a tailor
£40 could provide a hand pump for a well in Sierra Leone, providing six people with clean water for life
£75 could provide 14 AIDS orphans in Malawi with nutritious porridge for one year – sometimes the only guaranteed food they receive
£125 could supply a whole class of students with all of their learning materials for one year in Ethiopia.
How does it work?
Celebrating your wedding day with ActionAid couldn't be simpler.
You can set up your very own wedding page at www.myactionaid.org.uk, where you can easily add photo galleries, blogs and information about your special day. Friends and family can also donate on this page securely and without any loss of commission.
We can provide wedding cards to send to friends and family with further information about our work. And to make your special day even more of a celebration, we will send you a certificate with the total amount that you have raised for ActionAid.
