OUR APPEAL

ActionAid Association, a non-profit organization, is dedicated to transforming lives in India. We work with over 6 million individuals from marginalized communities spanning 25 states and 1 union territory, with a special focus on Dalit, Tribal, and Minority population.

At ActionAid, we believe that sustainable change must come from within the communities themselves. Our programs emphasize gender equality, economic empowerment, education (including STEM), and protection from violence. We also take grounded action to address climate change through our Action for Climate Justice initiatives, promoting climate-resilient livelihoods, strengthening community infrastructure, and providing humanitarian relief during natural disasters.

Project
Description
Act For Children
Act for Children is an initiative by ActionAid India to ensure children in marginalized and vulnerable communities have access to their basic rights especially education, healthcare and protection. The initiative is aimed at creating an enabling environment for children so they may enjoy a childhood all children deserves. ActionAid India addresses issues related to the protection, nutrition and education of children, while supporting rescue and rehabilitation of children who are victims of crime. We work to empower communities to remain vigilant against the risk of child sexual abuse, child trafficking, child marriage and child labour while facilitating shelter, counselling and education support. Last year alone (2023-24), we prevented 2,204 child marriages, 300+ child labour cases, and 178 child trafficking incidents across seven states (Odisha, Bihar, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Telangana).
Stop violence against women
Stop violence against women Gender-based violence is a manifestation of patriarchy and historically unequal power relations between men and women. According to estimates 1 in 3 women around the world has experienced either physical or sexual violence in her lifetime (WHO, 2013). In India 39 crimes against women and girls are reported every hour (NCRB, 2016). ActionAid India has been working on the issue of violence against women across its operational areas by ensuring safe spaces in communities, providing women survivors of patriarchal violence with immediate relief and rehabilitation support.
STEM Education
In 2024, ActionAid Association implemented STEM education in 160 government schools across Maharashtra, Goa, West Bengal, and Gujarat, impacting 40,800 students through 400 trained science teachers. We believe every child, regardless of socio-economic background, deserves the opportunity to explore, innovate, and pursue their dreams. Through hands-on learning and mentorship, we equip students with critical STEM skills, ensuring they receive quality education that fosters curiosity and ambition. Without access to these opportunities, many children risk being left behind. Your support can change that. By contributing, you enable us to expand our reach, enhance STEM education, and provide essential resources to children who need them most. Together, we can break the cycle of poverty by empowering the next generation of scientists, engineers, and changemakers. Help us ignite the spark of curiosity and build a future where every child has the knowledge and skills to succeed. Join us in making a lasting impact!
