Actionaid Ireland

ActionAid Ireland is a member of ActionAid International, one of the world’s most respected development organisations working with over 15 million people in more than 45 countries in Africa, Asia and the Americas. Since ActionAid Ireland was founded in 1983, we have taken sides with people living in poverty, focusing in particular on women and girls, to combat poverty and injustice working mainly with communities in Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Cambodia, Nepal and Vietnam. Through our Child Sponsorship programmes and our strong Irish supporter base, we are improving the lives of thousands of women, children and communities by helping them to secure their basic rights to food, water, shelter, medical attention and education. We also campaign for the rights of those who have been marginalised and connect and empower people to speak up and have a voice at a national level, in order to effect changes in legislation and improve their lives. https://actionaid.ie
