Action Aid

Action Aid is one of the world’s most important organisations pushing for development throughout the Third World. Originally a charity working for children’s well-being 35 years ago, Action Aid has grown into a global institution which works for change in nations run by corrupt governments and rife with crime. Generally focusing on influencing political systems which have left their poor behind, Action Aid campaigns vigilantly for pro-democratic governance and equality for all the people they preside over. Both India and Kenya have been important areas of achievement for Action Aid; the children of India’s slums are well known to be forced into crime and begging just to survive. Whilst other areas of the country are developed and modernised with billions of pounds of funds, the slums are left full of children living amongst wild animals and piles of rubbish. By purchasing a charity gift for a loved one from Action Aid, you are contributing towards the eradication of these terrible slums and promoting a fair chance for everyone.

Action Aid has also helped the world come along leaps and bound in the fight against HIV/AIDS and helping the real victims of foreign conflict; the innocent locals caught in the crossfire and suffering from the trade and supply lines being cut off. They have also put pressure on governments to ease the Third World Debt that has halted so much progress across the African nations for so many years. Your donations go to helping the poor individuals and communities in these areas recover from the problems forced upon them by others.
