Action Aid India

FROM THE WEBSITE:

We are part of ActionAid International, an international
development agency whose aim is to fight poverty and injustice.
Since 1972, we have been working with the poor and marginalised
people of India . We partner local NGOs, community based
organizations (CBO) and people's movements to collectively
address poverty, inequity and injustice.

Through our partner NGOs and community based organisations we
reach more than 5 million of the most poor and marginalised
people, supporting them overcome their poverty and
marginalisation by accessing their rights to food, shelter,
work, education, healthcare, human security and a voice in
the development decisions affecting their lives and livelihood.

Our vision is a world without poverty and injustice, one in which
every woman, man and girl and boy enjoy the right to life with
dignity.

We partner local organizations, who have the knowledge and
experience and enjoy the confidence of the poor and
marginalized communities we work with.

Our mission is to work with poor and excluded women, men and
girls and boys to eradicate poverty, discrimination and
injustice.

The people we work with include the dalit and tribal people,
other sections of the rural and urban poor, women, children,
and minorities. Within these groups, our focus is on people
in vulnerable situations such as people living with chronic
hunger, ill health, migrant and bonded workers, children out
of education, urban homeless people, trafficked persons, persons
with disability, displaced people and refugees, and people affected
by natural and human-made disasters.

Our partners range from small community support groups to national
alliances and international networks seeking food rights, education
for all, trade justice, just and democratic governance, and action
against HIV/AIDS. Our work with these national and international
campaign networks highlights the issues that affect poor people and
influences the way governments and international institutions think.

Our unique way of working :

We support poor and marginalized people to strengthen their
community organization, social institutions and capacity to
fight poverty.

We support processes that enable work just and democratic
governance thus deepening democracy.

We support women and girls to claim and enforce their rights
and entitlements.

We support poor and marginalized people in vulnerable situations
to overcome their immediate distress by addressing their poverty
needs.

We support poor and marginalized people to explore and access
financial resources they require to sustain their development
efforts from the state and civil society.

We constantly seek new solutions and ask ourselves how we can
make the greatest impact with our resources. We make the most
of our skills and abilities by working at many levels - local,
national, regional and international.

They are also actively involved in the relief operations in the
flood affected regions of India.
