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 their 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.

Children in Crisis
There are 77 million children worldwide who are not able to go to school. Often they are living in severe poverty and can not afford to go to school and many are the innocent victims of civil wars and conflicts. Schools are often destroyed during wars
and with few if any trained teachers, there's no chance for these children to learn the skills they need to find a way out of poverty. Children in Crisis is working towards ending this injustice by providing an education to children in 9 countries around
the world. Our aim is that all children will have the chance to go to school, wherever in the world they are and however poor they might be. Children will always be the most vulnerable members of society; in times of an economic crisis, a political upheaval
or a war, they will be the ones who suffer the most. A chance to go to school can provide a safe and secure environment in which to learn and rebuild their lives.
