More than 17,000 new supporters in the UK signed up to give a committed gift
Your incredible commitment helps us run projects around the world that empower women and girls.
In Rwanda, we're supporting girls who have missed school due to period poverty and stigma. Jeanne and her classmates did not have access to sanitary products and would skip school up to 5 days during their period
But thanks to the support of our donors, ActionAid was able to build a special room in Jeanne's school where girls can shower, change their clothes, lie down if they're in pain, and access sanitary pads. They're also given support to manage their periods and advice on sexual health and rights.
Thank you to all our supporters for making projects like this possible.
Jeanne can now go to school, thanks to the support of our donors.

Players of People's Postcode Lottery helped to empower adolescent girls and young women
In 2019, thanks to the players of People's Postcode Lottery, we supported our work promoting girls' education and tackling the root causes of violence against women and girls.
This helped fund a programme to empower adolescent girls, which has reached 3,900 girls in Zimbabwe and Ghana so far.
Our Gifts in Action help strengthen communities
Our supporters helped Shaher, from Afghanistan with the training and equipment needed to start beekeeping. Her new skill has transformed her life.
For the first time, ActionAid offered beekeeping gifts as part of its Gifts in Action range. Gifts in the ‘Beehives to Thrive’ category help women kickstart a new career in beekeeping and earn an independent income.
Before, women in my community didn’t have any opportunity to work except for household and caring activities... now, I spend profits from my beekeeping on my children’s education, buying new clothes for my children and supporting my husband with the household expenses."
ActionAid trained Shaher in beekeeping in Afghanistan.
