Help women and girls who are struggling to survive

By donating to ActionAid, you could help us be there for young women like Nafisa.

Nafisa has just given birth to her son in a displacement camp in Somaliland, with no medical facilities, or even a midwife to help.

Along with tens of thousands of families, she is seeking refuge from the climate-change related drought devastating Somaliland right now.

But your donation could change everything. You could help us support women and girls around the world:

by providing vital food for mothers and babies, like rice, milk and flour.
by distributing clothes, soap, lotions.
by building clean toilets and helping to keep Nafisa and other women safe from disease.

ActionAid is on the ground delivering essential aid like food directly to local women and girls. But our supplies are running out – and thousands of women and girls can’t wait. Please donate today.

How your donation can help women and girls trapped in hidden crises

Your donation could help provide life-saving aid for women and girls like Nafisa.

Why are we asking for a monthly gift?

Every donation counts, and we’re grateful for whatever you feel you can afford. A one-off donation is a fantastic start, but issues that women and girls face, like violence and poverty, are long-term problems, and they need long-term solutions. Regular donations mean we can commit to working with women and girls for as long as it takes.

A monthly gift from you allows us to make ambitious plans, and invest in the futures of young girls and their communities. It means we can make a real, sustainable difference to the lives of women and girls. Please help us to change lives, for good.

What ActionAid does

ActionAid is an international charity that works with women and girls living in poverty. The denial of their rights is one of the biggest causes of poverty worldwide, and a grave injustice. That’s why we put the rights of women and girls at the heart of all we do.

Our dedicated local staff are helping end violence against women and girls and changing lives, for good. We won’t stop until women and girls are out of danger, out of poverty and on track to 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.
