ActionAid is an international anti-poverty agency working in over 40 countries, taking sides with poor people to end poverty and injustice together. We believe that to make any dent in persistent inequity and injustice, the root causes of poverty must be addressed, and not just the distress conditions. Ours is a a rights-based approach to development, helping people to claim their rights which may be constitutional, moral or legal entitlements. This is in addition to addressing immediate needs like food, health care, shelter and education.
