What you helped us achieve in 2020
Every day we hear incredible stories of how the lives of women and girls are changing for the better.
With your support in 2020, our work has helped to transform lives - whether that's by helping to alleviate period poverty, distributing life-saving aid in emergencies such as during the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, 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 the most vulnerable women and girls in 2020.

We supported over 9 million people through our Covid-19 emergency response
ActionAid implemented a federation-wide response to Covid-19 with the goal to support communities in 38 countries.
Between April and September 2020 we distributed over 1,400,000 hygiene kits, hand sanitisers, soaps or handwashing facilities, along with more than 340,000 units of PPE.
We have reached millions of people across four continents with our awareness-raising activities, designed to stop the spread of dangerous misinformation about Covid-19.
Kathmandu-based Nabina Gurung, 21, has been volunteering with ActionAid Nepal and their local partner, Homenet Nepal, for more than a year, distributing essential items for daily wage workers and those in financial difficulty.
Reducing unpaid care work for women
2020 saw the conclusion of ActionAid’s flagship five-year Promoting Opportunities for Women’s Empowerment and Rights (POWER) project.
Reaching over 19,500 women in Rwanda, Ghana, Bangladesh, POWER helped reduce the burdens of unpaid care work on women and supported a more equal redistribution of work between household members.
Through POWER, smallholder women farmers expanded the use of climate-resilient farming practices, and women’s access to markets has significantly improved through skills training and knowledge sharing.
