End poverty together.

What we do

We focus on the people that others forget. People in poverty. People who face discrimination. People whose voices are ignored.

We help people fight for the rights that they are denied. Simple things, like the right to eat. The right to stay on their land. To an education. To have a say in the decisions that shape their lives.

We’re not about giving handouts or telling people what to do, because in the long run we know that doesn’t work. Instead, we use our resources, influence and experience to help people find their own solutions.

We listen to what people really want and need. We help communities take action together to hold their governments to account, and we give local organisations our support where they need it. Together, we’re making a lasting difference.

Our strategic objective is to work with the poor and marginaised communities so as to strengthen their capacity to advocate for international and national policies that promote their rights to a world without poverty. Our areas of work are in agriculture and food security, land rights, education, HIV/AIDS, just and democratic governance and women's rights.

  • Women's rights

    Women around the world are more likely to live in poverty – just because they’re women. We’re helping women to challenge discrimination, claim their rights, and transform their societies.

  • HIV and AIDS

    ActionAid Tanzania's work on HIV/AIDS seeks to empower communities, especially the poor and excluded,and their organizations to addressn HIV prevention; advocate for access to treatment and improve access and availability of care and support for People Living with HIV/AIDS.

  • Food rights

    Every day, one in six people goes to bed hungry. Yet the world produces more than enough food for everybody. We’re tackling the causes of hunger, so that everyone can enjoy the right to have enough to eat.
