We're a global movement of people fighting for women’s rights, climate justice, economic justice, and an end to poverty.
About us
Founded in 1972, ActionAid has been fighting poverty worldwide for over 30 years. In 2013, ActionAid's work reached 15 million people in Africa, Asia and Latin America. At ActionAid we take advantage of over 30 years of knowledge and experience in fighting poverty. We don't impose solutions, but work with communities over many years to strengthen their own efforts to throw off poverty. With more than 2,000 partners worldwide, we work with and support the poorest and most vulnerable people to secure their rights to food, shelter, work, basic healthcare and a voice in the decisions that affect their lives. Italia ActionAid è un’organizzazione internazionale indipendente impegnata nella lotta alle cause della povertà e dell’esclusione sociale. Da oltre 30 anni siamo a fianco delle comunità del Sud del mondo per garantire loro migliori condizioni di vita e il rispetto dei diritti fondamentali. In Italia AAI è presente dal 1989: è una ONLUS (Organizzazione Non Lucrativa di Utilità Sociale) riconosciuta come ente morale ed è accreditata presso il Ministero degli Affari Esteri come ONG (Organizzazione Non Governativa).

Gaza needs a full and permanent ceasefire now so that aid, including fuel which is urgently needed to keep hospitals running, can enter safely and at the enormous scale required to stop this catastrophic humanitarian crisis deteriorating any further."
