Donate your money to fight the poverty with Practical Action

Offer the hand of friendship to poor communities by making a donation to Practical Action today.

- Donation £10 could buy a life-saving fuel-efficient stove for six families in Darfur, reducing the time women spend collecting firewood, fearing for their lives.

- Donation £25 could provide farmers in Sudan with a plough and soft harness that is kind to the donkey that pulls it, increasing productivity and reducing soil erosion.

- Donation £40 could buy a specially-designed potter's wheel which is culturally acceptable to women in Bangladesh, as it can be operated by pedals instead of sitting astride the wheel, allowing women at last to earn the money they desperately need to feed their families.

About Practical Action

For over 40 years Practical Action has been investing in simple and extremely effective technologies that give people the power to change their lives. Their experience tells them that you can't solve poverty by giving handouts, instead they work together with people in their homes and communities. They work at the heart of desperate communities across the world, helping people to find simple, sustainable solutions to problems they face.
