Why run for ActionAid
Meet Jyoti, a survivor of domestic abuse who now works at the ActionAid supported One-Stop Crisis Centre in India. The centre provides temporary shelter, medical, legal and psychological counselling services for women and girls who have experienced violence.
Jyoti is a counsellor and outreach worker who counselled 300 girls in eight months. She does this because she wants to give back to the centre that helped her rebuild her own life.
Each time she helps a girl to begin healing from a traumatic incident, Jyoti says she sleeps easier at night.
By fundraising for ActionAid, you can help survivors of violence access vital services and support in seeking justice.
