Most of us want to do more for the world, but you know how it is - things crop up, you get busy...
In this section you'll find seven very good reasons why we think you should get involved with us.
We consider everyone who contributes an activist - from young campaigners overseas fighting for their rights, to the artists who designed our website banners, to our MySpace friends who leave supportive comments - every voice is a voice for change.
And if you don't believe that you can make a difference, just look here and here and here. And if you still don't believe us, read why Salamina, an ActionAid activist from South Africa, thinks that we can make a difference in her community.
We might have hated all those lessons about A before E except after C, or cringed at our teachers showing us how to put a condom on a banana, but without them we would've been in a whole lot of trouble.
It may seem obvious, but it’s easy to forget that without education it’s unlikely we’d know what our rights are, when we were being ripped off or how to change our lives for the better.
72 million children - 60% of them girls - have no access to education. At all.
