ActionAid Ireland

ActionAid is a global movement of people working together to further human rights and defeat poverty for all. 

We focus on the people that others forget. People in poverty. People who face discrimination. People whose voices are ignored.

We’re not about giving handouts or telling people what to do, because in the long run we know that doesn’t work. Instead we use our resources, influence and experience to help people find their own solutions.
We help people fight for their rights. Simple things like the right to eat, the right to stay on their land, the right to an education and the right to have a say in the decisions that shape their lives.
We listen to what people really want and need. We help communities take action together, to hold their governments to account, and we give local organisations our support where they need it. Together, we’re making a lasting difference.
