You can help keep children safe from harm when you give a monthly donation to ActionAid.
Around the world, millions of children have nowhere to call home. With no one to care for them, little children are forced to sleep in dark alleyways or on dangerous railway platforms.
Alone and scared, these children live with the constant fear of cruelty at the hands of strangers. Young girls in particular are at risk of violence and exploitation when they live on the streets. It’s a terrifying existence.
ActionAid is working to keep these forgotten girls and boys safe - and you can help.
Just £7 a month could make sure a child has somewhere safe to sleep. Not just tonight, but every night.
Set up your monthly gift to help us keep homeless children safe.

About ActionAid
ActionAid is an international charity that works with women and girls living in poverty. We put women and girls at the centre of our work across 45 countries. Because whether it’s the result of being displaced by war, recovering from the aftermath of an earthquake, or simply being born into a deprived community, women and girls are the most affected by poverty.
So we make sure girls go to and stay in school, we work with communities to end gender-based violence, and we train women in the skills they need to earn a living.
Almost all of the people and partners who run our programmes are from the countries and communities where we work. This means our dedicated local staff see day-to-day how poverty affects people’s lives, and are uniquely placed to give a voice to the women and girls who suffer the most. We are ending violence and fighting poverty so that all women, everywhere, can create the future they want.
How we use the money you give us
For every £1 we spend:
67p is spent on humanitarian and development programmes and strengthening our global federation
20p is spent on fundraising
10p is spent on support costs (running the organisation)
3p is spent on campaigning for change
These figures are taken from our expenditure in 2019.
We’re committed to keeping our supporters happy and being open and honest about how we fundraise. To find out more you can read our supporter promise.
