ActionAid's Priority Projects
ActionAid's Priority Projects are six life-changing in vital need of funding. Every day, every minute, all over the world, people - most often vulnerable women and children - face the day without food, water, education, healthcare and security. Please give generously to support this crucial work.
One of the key Priority Projects is the Worldwide Fund which provides help to children in conflict and disasters. Every year more than 300 million people - including 60 million children - are affected by conflict or natural disaster. ActionAid responds to 7 to 8 medium to large-scale emergencies every month, many of which just don't hit our headlines. Children are especially vulnerable during emergencies. They may lose their homes, their parents and their access to education. They can be exposed to disease, malnutrition and violence. They may also be left with psychological trauma long after the crisis has subsided.
What will our money buy?
ActionAid's Strategic Crisis Fund responds swiftly during emergencies, providing food, clean water, education and shelter to people whose lives have been turned upside down by natural disaster or violence. It also helps children continue their education in emergency shelters and recruits teachers to work in displaced people's camps in conflict zones. Longer-term funding goes to counselling and play activities to reduce the mental scars left by disaster and conflict.
Soul Pathway Coaching aims to raise at least £435 with the Transforming Lives event. That is what it would cost to fund three recreational sessions, providing therapy through play for children displaced by floods.
Please assist us in whatever way you can.
- £6 could provide special porridge to support a malnourished child for three months.
- £50 could buy one loudspeaker to help trained young people to warn of impending disaster.
- £80 could buy sand and cement to make essential repairs to classrooms and cyclone shelters after an emergency.
- £800 could raise awareness of climate change and disaster reduction among school children in Burundi.
- £2,115 could rebuild a Bangladeshi house, destroyed by Cyclone Sidr in 2007 and enable it to be used as a cyclone shelter.
