What does What does ActionAid Association (India) do?

ActionAid India has been working with poor and marginalised people in India since 1972. We work in 25 states and one Union Territory, reaching out to over 6 million people every year, most of whom belong to the most marginalised and excluded groups in India.

We partner with local NGOs, community based organizations and people's movements to collectively address poverty, inequality and injustice.

Our focus is on the rights of India’s most marginalised communities: Dalit and indigenous people, rural and urban poor, women, children and minorities. These groups face an acute lack of access to and control over resources, services, and institutions and our efforts are to equip them with knowledge about their rights and develop capacities in them to demand their constitutional rights.

We pay special attention to those in vulnerable situations, such as people living with chronic hunger; people with disabilities; migrant and bonded workers; children who are out of school; city-dwellers without a home; and people whose land or livelihood is under threat. We also work with women, men, girls and boys who have been trafficked, displaced, or hit by natural and human-made disasters.

WE WORK IN 317 DISTRICTS, INCLUDING 134 OF THE MOST BACKWARD DISTRICTS IN INDIA.
