Our 'Taking Action' Annual Review 2010 is now available to read online.

ActionAid Ireland was established in 1983 and is a founding member of ActionAid International.

Together with more than 2,000 civil society partners worldwide, we work with and support the poorest and most vulnerable people to fight for and gain their rights to food, shelter, work, basic healthcare and a voice in the decisions that affect their lives. Among them are widows, orphans, the homeless and disabled, people with HIV & AIDS, tribal people and religious minorities.

We also champion poor people’s rights through international campaigns on unequal balances of power in relation to food rights, tax injustice and education. ActionAid’s work fighting poverty reaches over 20 million people in Africa, Asia and the Americas.
