Make the extraordinary possible this
#GIVINGTUESDAY
2020 hasn’t turned out as expected, and we’ve already had enough of the ‘new normal’.
So here’s a chance to take something positive from the year. This Giving Tuesday (December 1st), grab the opportunity to create change that’s anything BUT normal for communities around the world.
Your generosity will support families who are facing extraordinary challenges caused by climate change as well as the impact of coronavirus. Join the global generosity movement – feel good, do good, and create some good news.
Look at the positive things you could help make happen…
The world’s toughest problems need YOU – and a little ingenuity.
With big ideas and bold actions, together we can build a world that’s better for everyone. Where people can unleash their potential and make the extraordinary possible.
You can help make this happen with a gift to Practical Action this Giving Tuesday.

JOIN THE TEAM MAKING CHANGE HAPPEN
We believe in possible
We know that ingenuity can tackle the world’s toughest problems. We’ve worked with communities to prove it’s possible to:
- Turn desert into lush fields in Sudan, so farmers can thrive despite climate change
- Replant areas of rainforest in Peru, so coffee growers can succeed sustainably
- Turn plastic waste into fuel in Bangladesh, cleaning up slums and rivers and creating jobs
It’s what we’ve been doing for over 50 years.
But we need to do more
People living in poor communities have never faced such a tough reality.
- Climate change has caused an increase in devastating floods, storms and landslides. We can help communities avoid disaster.
- Permanent changes to temperature and rainfall are making farming almost impossible. We can help farmers adapt and thrive.
- The long term impact of coronavirus is pushing millions deeper into poverty. We can help create jobs, improve incomes and boost businesses.
You support will help make this possible.
Your gift will go further than you imagine
Regular support through monthly giving will:
- Provide us with the predictable income we need to embark on ambitious long-term projects with communities around the world.
- Allow us to pioneer innovative approaches that can be replicated elsewhere, by other development groups and governments.
- Enable us to unlock grants from large donors, such as the UK Government and UN bodies.

You’ll feel involved and inspired by the work your support is making possible.
- We’ll bring you uplifting updates from the communities we work with, our teams who work alongside them and our technical experts.
