ActionAid Vietnam

ActionAid is a global federation committed to finding sustainable solutions to end poverty and injustice. With more than 40 national members and country programmes worldwide, ActionAid focuses the majority of its resources on working with millions of the poorest and most excluded women, men and children. We take sides with them, making long term commitments to advance their human rights and to transform the world in which their children grow up. We support thousands of communities, partners and peoples’ movements in lower income countries to improve their lives through participatory capacity-development, solidarity, campaigns and emergency responses. ActionAid makes people-to-people links across the world with those who share our vision of a poverty free planet. ActionAid International is a unique democratic federation collectively governed by all its members, supported by an International Secretariat in Johannesburg so we can act as one organisation in solidarity with people living in poverty. Our central values of gender equality with courage of conviction drive our ambitions to innovate, take risks, promote women’s leadership and advance alternatives and lasting solutions.
