Donate now to stand with women like Nafisa

Nafisa gave 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.

And now, communities like hers are facing a catastrophe of immense proportions, as Covid-19 has seen livelihoods destroyed and cases of violence against women skyrocket.

But by donating to ActionAid, you could help us support women and girls around the world:

by providing vital supplies for mothers and babies, like food, clothes and soap.
by working with local women's groups to put an end to violence against women.
by building clean toilets to keep Nafisa and other women safe from disease.

Right now, millions of women and girls around the world are fighting for their freedom, their futures and even their lives. It's vital that we stand with them. Please donate today.

Stand with women

Women's rights are still in lockdown.

Covid-19 has deepened inequalities for women and girls, and exposed a hidden pandemic of violence and poverty.  

But in communities large and small, away from the spotlight, women and girls are leading the change.

With the support of ActionAid and our partners, they are building a new world – one that’s safe and equal. A world in which no woman lives in fear of violence.

ActionAid stands with women. Will you stand with women too?

How your donation can help

Stand with women and girls like Nafisa by giving a regular gift.

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. 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.
