Your support makes a world of difference

Children in isolated villages in Malawi are now drinking fresh water, instead of the dirty water which used to make them ill.

Healthy trees are growing on Peruvian land that had been left barren because of damaging farming techniques.

For the first time, pit emptiers in the slums of Bangladesh are doing their jobs with dignity and without risk of injury and long-term health problems.

What made these amazing transformations possible?

The generous support of individuals, community groups, trusts, foundations and businesses.

“This powerful community of support is one of the reasons I love working at Practical Action. Your support means we can bring simple, practical, ingenious solutions to thousands of communities – working alongside them as they make positive changes that will last for generations. Thank you.”
