Overseas programmes

Almost 82 pence in every pound donated goes towards our emergency response and long-term development programmes, working together with people living in the most difficult situations to bring about lasting change to lives, livelihoods and communities.

Asma Begum (37) and her husband Abdul with their three daughters Lamia (18), Sadia (16) and Maria (5) and their grandmother Kulsum Begum (72) started CRAAIN in 2020. Asma Begum started as a lead farmer, received training and seeds. Before, she did agri activities but wasn’t very successful. She had received one ring composter from the local gov but no training on how to use it. As a lead farmer, she has supported 400 households in this area. She used to rely on her husband but is now totally reliable.

Every day, we are working to transform the lives of people living in extreme poverty

Our vision, our mission and our work are all defined by one goal – ending extreme poverty, whatever it takes. We believe that no-one should have to live in fear that they won't have a home to sleep in or enough food to feed their children.

When an emergency strikes, we are among the first on the ground – mobilising expert teams in just 24 hours. From hurricanes in Haiti to famine in South Sudan, we go to the ends of the earth to reach the most vulnerable.

By donating today, you're helping us make this vision a reality, one step at a time.
