WHO WE ARE

Practical Action is an innovative international development organisation putting ingenious ideas to work so people in poverty can change their world.

Our Vision

A world that works better for everyone

OUR AIMS

We put ingenious ideas to work so people in poverty can change their world.

We help people find solutions to some of the world’s toughest problems – made worse by catastrophic climate change and persistent gender inequality.

We do things differently so answers that start small can grow big – bringing people together in bold collaborations, combining knowledge with innovation to change the systems that keep people poor and vulnerable.

We work with communities to develop ingenious solutions for agriculture, water and waste management, climate resilience and clean energy access. Then we share what’s proven to work with others, so many more people can change their world.

We believe in the power of small to change the big picture.
