Charities

 

 

Action Aid 

ActionAid is one of the UK’s largest international development charities, helping poor people in over 35 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. Child sponsorship is key to our work.

If we all sponsored a child in the developing world, imagine the difference we could make.
The world’s poorest people would get a chance to create a self-reliant future. Poverty could be a thing of the past.
Child sponsorship helps a child’s whole community by providing access to safe, clean water, healthcare, education and an escape from a life of hardship and disease.
Sponsors will see how their money is working through regular updates from local fieldworkers and personal messages from the child they sponsor.

ActionAid is one of the UK’s largest international development charities, helping poor children, families and communities in over 35 of the world’s poorest countries.

The World Land Trust is a conservation charity that has helped purchase and protects over 400,000 acres of rainforest and other threatened wildlife habitats worldwide.

In some areas in South America it is possible to save an acre of rainforest for as little as £50. In other areas it is more expensive, but rest assured, donations are still used in the same way: to enable partner organisations to purchase threatened wildlife habitat and protect them as permanent reserves.
 

 

 

UNICEF

UNICEF is the leading children’s organisation, reaching children in more than 150 less-developed countries around the world. We work with local communities, organisations and governments to make a lasting difference to children’s lives.

Our global reach allows us to share knowledge across borders while our local presence – almost 85 per cent of UNICEF staff work in developing countries – means we can deliver assistance where it is needed most. With our worldwide presence, UNICEF is ready to respond rapidly wherever disaster strikes, delivering life-saving help for children.
