What you helped us achieve in 2022
Every day we hear incredible stories of how the lives of women and girls are changing for the better.
With your support in 2022, our work has helped to transform lives - whether that's by helping to alleviate period poverty, distributing life-saving aid in emergencies such as in Ukraine, or training women and girls with skills that help lift them out of poverty.
Here are just a few examples of how your donations helped in 2022.
Staving off hunger through school meal plans
ActionAid launched a school-feeding programme providing thousands of kilos of maize, beans and hundreds of litres of oil to feed over 5,000 children across 26 schools in Kenya during the ongoing East Africa hunger crisis.
Benedetta, a cook at a local school has been helping out with ActionAid' school feeding programme in Kenya. She said that children that do come to school, often ask for seconds at the feeding programme, because they are unsure when they will eat again.
Githeri is distributed to students for lunch at a primary school in Makueni County as part of the school-feeding programme supported by ActionAid.

Supporting grassroots movements in Ghana
When Covid-19 struck the Oti region of Ghana, it escalated violence and forced marriages for thousands of women and girls.
But Agnes Afua Obour and her team at the Network of Communities in Development (NOCID) brought together traditional leaders, girls’ clubs and volunteers across 30 communities to end violence against women and girls for good.
With your help, we raised over £9,000 to help Agnes and NOCID to organise community forums for women and girls to share their experiences and ideas for action to end violence; fund young people to run anti-child marriage and sexual violence campaigns and train community groups to provide counselling to survivors of violence in schools.
