What you helped us achieve in 2024
Every day we hear incredible stories of how the lives of women and girls are changing for the better.
With your support in 2024 our work has helped to transform lives - whether that's by helping to alleviate period poverty, distributing life-saving aid in emergencies such as during the Bangaldesh floods or training women and girls with skills that help lift them out of poverty.
Here is an example of how your donations helped in 2024.
Response to the 2024 Bangladesh floods
In the flood-stricken village of Krishnapur, Noakhali, Bangladesh, 24-year-old Tajnahar waited for relief and supplies as aid failed to reach remote neighbourhoods like hers.
Stranded in a makeshift shelter with dozens of families, as floodwaters cut her and others off from aid, Tajnahar struggled to feed her five-year-old son.
As part of our emergency response ActionAid and our local partners helped over 3000 individuals in the 8 unions of Noakhali by providing them with relief packages containing dry food, basic groceries, matches, candles and water purifiers.
