By supporting our work, you’ll be joining a like-minded, caring community helping to make long-lasting change by unlocking the power of people.

Over 60 years’ experience has proved the immense power of the “ripple effect” that happens when you empower people to change their own lives for the better, through access to education, healthcare and sustainable livelihoods.

And you can be right at the heart of changing lives for the better. Because together, we can be the change we want to see. Together we are changemakers. Join us.

Here is how every £1 is spent

For every £1 raised, 87p goes towards tackling poverty and 13p towards raising the next £1

We value every gift that you give, and will always put it straight to work as quickly as we can. In 2022-23, 87p  of every £1 you gave went directly towards tackling poverty worldwide. 13p was spent on the day-to-day running of the charity and raising the next £1 so that we can help even more people this year.
