Sokchea is a fisherwoman in Kampot, Cambodia. She relies on a daily catch to provide food and income for her family.

But her livelihood is under threat as increasing cycles of storms, floods and extreme weather make fishing perilous. Last time Sokchea went out to fish, her boat nearly capsized.

Without her daily catch, Sokchea is struggling to make ends meet. Some days she has to borrow money so her children don't go hungry.

But ActionAid is working round the clock to ensure women like Sokchea can survive by adapting their skills.

In Cambodia, we are helping women to switch from traditional livelihoods to climate-resilient businesses. For example, we train women in innovative methods of growing crops on boats, replanting mangroves and building community fishing ponds.

By donating to ActionAid, you could help us support women and girls around the world with seeds, tools and training so that women can turn their lives around.

Please give today.

What ActionAid does

ActionAid is an international charity that works with women and girls living in poverty. Our dedicated local staff are changing the world with women and girls. We are ending violence and fighting poverty so that all women, everywhere, can create the future they want.

We focus on women and girls. Because when they unlock their potential and claim their rights, they can change the course of their lives, and the lives of their families, forever.

We partner with women, giving them the tools and skills to help themselves, and fight what holds them back.
Through our long-standing child sponsorship programme, we give children and their communities better prospects for the future.
We work directly with and through local people, gaining unparalleled insight into what works.

How we use the money you give us

For every £1 we spend:

67p is spent on humanitarian and development programmes and strengthening our global federation

20p is spent on fundraising

10p is spent on support costs (running the organisation)

3p is spent on campaigning for change

These figures are taken from our expenditure in 2019.

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.

Why we ask for a monthly gift

All money helps, and we’re grateful for whatever you feel you can afford.

A one-off donation is a fantastic start, but the kind of extreme poverty that millions of women and girls are facing are long-term problems, and they need long-term solutions.

A regular gift from you means we can commit to being there for girls like five-year-old Jui in Bangladesh, who desperately need us, both now and in the future.
