Practical Action uses technology to challenge poverty in developing countries.
Our strength is our approach. We find out what people are doing and help them to do it better. Through technology and with your support we enable poor communities to build on their skills and knowledge to produce sustainable and practical solutions - transforming their lives forever and protecting the world around them.
By doing this each year we help around a million people break out of the cycle of poverty... for good.
The Supporter Services Unit has a selection of information materials that can give you a general overview of the organisation to more specific areas of our programme work.
People living in poverty aren't waiting for change to happen - they're getting on with it themselves. So if you would like to find out more about Practical Action's work and how we are helping communities lift themselves out of poverty have a look at our resources.
