ActionAid is an international anti-poverty agency operating in over 40 countries, working with poor and marginalised people to end poverty and injustice together. It has been working in India since 1972. It partners with local NGOs, community based organizations and people’s movements to collectively address poverty, inequality and injustice.
Focus Areas:
The focus is on the rights of India’s most marginalised communities such as dalit and indigenous people, rural and urban poor, women, children and minorities. Special attention is given to people living in vulnerable situations such as chronic hunger, HIV/AIDS or disability, migrant and bonded workers, children who are out of school, city-dwellers without a home, and people whose land or livelihood is under threat. The organisation also works with women, men, girls and boys who have been trafficked, displaced, or hit by natural and human-made disasters.
