ActionAid

172 Ivy Exchange, Granby Place, Parnell Square, Dublin 1, D01 V125

ActionAid provides long-term support and focuses on the human rights of women and children in developing countries, so they can overcome the obstacles holding them back.

Our work is rooted in communities, to end gender-based violence and provide training in skills where needed. In particular, we work with women to empower them to take the lead. They decide their priorities, and we support them as they engage with the rest of their community and the wider power structures in society, to bring about change for the better that benefits the whole community.

 

Child Sponsorship

ActionAid has a Child Sponsorship programme, where people can provide direct long-term support to a community. Child sponsors support local people to claim their rights and they can see the long-term impact that their support creates. ActionAid Ireland also has a Women Rights Programme, funded by Irish Aid, that is implemented in communities in three countries, Ethiopia, Kenya and Nepal.

Through this programme we work with women to analyse behaviours and tailor innovative solutions to support them to claim their rights. Together we hold governments and institutions to account to ensure all women are afforded their human rights.

ActionAid campaigns for meaningful long-term change, side by side with those living in exclusion. Combined with our rooted, long-term work at a community level, this is incredibly important for women and children around the world to realise their rights.

Response to Emergencies

When an emergency strikes, ActionAid supports local women to ensure those living in exclusion can access emergency supplies.

We also work to keep women and children safe from violence, which can increase during emergencies.

Leave a Legacy Behind

Leaving a legacy could help ActionAid continue our work in all of these areas. Legacy donations ensure that we will be able to continue to respond in emergency situations, that we can continue our long-term rooted work with communities, and that we can continue to advocate for a safe and caring world for women and children.

By leaving a legacy, you will make a positive difference to women and children living in poverty and exclusion. Your gift could have a long-lasting impact on the lives of many women and children around the world.
