How you can get involved to help ActionAid change lives for good
Do something amazing: sponsor a child. For just 65p a day, you could make a huge difference to a girl like Yasmeen in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Eight Bangladeshi acid attack survivors brought their unique fashion show to the UK to stand up to violence against women and girls.
ActionAid is an international charity working in over 45 countries. We work with the poorest women and girls in the world, changing their lives for good.
Our local staff provide immediate, hands-on support to women and children living on the margins of survival. Together we demand action at local, national and international level. We don’t walk away until we’ve achieved lasting change.
How we use the money you give us
For every £1 we spend:
72p is spent on programme activity, including humanitarian and development work
12p is spent on fundraising
9p is spent on support costs (running the organisation)
7p is spent on campaigning for change
These figures are taken from our expenditure in 2016. We’re committed to keeping our supporters happy and being open and honest about how we fundraise. To find out more you can read our supporter promise.
