Practical Action works around the world, building thriving lives and livelihoods on the frontlines of climate change.
Where we work
Africa
Our biggest focus in Africa is on finding ways to make farming work for smallholder farmers.
We also have significant projects helping people to access clean energy and improving water and waste services.
Asia
Our greatest focus in Asia is in helping to make cities fit for people, with safe water for drinking and washing and refuse and sewage safely and sustainably managed.
We also have sizeable programs to improve people’s resilience to climate and natural hazards and helping farming families succeed in the face of climate change.
Latin America
Our work in Latin America is mostly concerned with helping families become more resilient to climate and natural hazards and improving the effectiveness and profitability of their farming methods.
We back this up with work to help people access the transformational power of clean energy.
