Building a world free from all forms of exploitation and discrimination where everyone has the opportunity to realise their potential.

Founded in 1972, ActionAid has been fighting poverty worldwide for over 30 years. In 2013, ActionAid's work reached 15 million people in Africa, Asia and Latin America. At ActionAid we take advantage of over 30 years of knowledge and experience in fighting poverty. We don't impose solutions, but work with communities over many years to strengthen their own efforts to throw off poverty. With more than 2,000 partners worldwide, we work with and support the poorest and most vulnerable people to secure their rights to food, shelter, work, basic healthcare and a voice in the decisions that affect their lives. Italia ActionAid è un’organizzazione internazionale indipendente impegnata nella lotta alle cause della povertà e dell’esclusione sociale. Da oltre 30 anni siamo a fianco delle comunità del Sud del mondo per garantire loro migliori condizioni di vita e il rispetto dei diritti fondamentali. In Italia AAI è presente dal 1989: è una ONLUS (Organizzazione Non Lucrativa di Utilità Sociale) riconosciuta come ente morale ed è accreditata presso il Ministero degli Affari Esteri come ONG (Organizzazione Non Governativa).

CARE started its operations in Bangladesh (previously East Pakistan) in 1949. CARE Bangladesh amplifies the voices of the poor and marginalized in ways which influence public opinion, development practice, and policy at all levels - drawing on grassroots experience and relationships with civil society, government, and the private sector. CARE Bangladesh targets three of the poorest and most vulnerable groups in Bangladesh in order to achieve sustainable social, economic and political impacts on their lives: women and girls, the rural extreme-poor, and marginalized urban populations. In all of these groups, we work with communities to build resilience and reduce the risks posed by natural disasters and environmental change. Our holistic approach is reflected in the breadth of our programming: across Bangladesh, we implement projects covering livelihoods and income generation; health, hygiene and sanitation; nutrition; sexual and reproductive health; governance, transparency and accountability; women's empowerment and ending gender-based violence; education; labor rights; market linkages and private sector engagement; disaster risk reduction and resilience; and emergency response.
