About This Cause
Welcome to Action Change, we would love you to join us as an action changer! *About Us* Join us in empowering communities in hard to reach areas to tackle global issues. As a global charity, we kick start projects and mentor them to become sustainable, equipping them with the tools to create lasting change. Together, we are building an army of future change-makers. All our projects are run in partnership with the local communities to ensure we maximise engagement locally and provide a detailed action plan to bring the project to a long term sustainable locally funded program. Currently Action Change has over 90 active projects and we have successfully completed 121 projects that have now been handed over to the local community and are running fully sustainable to continue to tackle the global issues the community face. Action Change is a well known charity in hard to reach communities and areas all around the world with 20 years experience with working with little resources to turn ideas into action, we empower and equip our communities and program staff so they can tackle the issues and build a sustainable long term solution, we invite you to visit one of our programs to see real grass root projects in action. *Our Approach* We believe in the power of local action to drive global change. By supporting our local communities, we're not only improving our immediate environment, but also contributing to the solution of global issues. Every step counts towards a better, more sustainable world. Working alongside local partners, we support sustainable projects that tackle global issues on a local scale. Our mission is to build resilient communities that protect our environment for future generations. Our work aligns with the United Nations' sustainable development goals, which aim to create a better future for everyone by addressing global challenges such as poverty, inequality, climate change, and promoting prosperity, peace, and justice. Let's work together for a brighter future! *Our Purpose* Building an international community of people united in a common goal of making an impact on global issues, raising awareness of the need for protection of our environment, and meeting the challenges presented by natural and unexpected disasters.
