What will 50p buy you these days? It'll hardly buy a newspaper, or a can of fizzy pop.

Sponsorship costs a minimum of £15 a month - that is just 50p a day. 80% of this money is spent directly overseas. The remaining 20% is spent on priority activities such as responding to emergencies, campaigning on behalf of poor people, finding new sponsors and raising additional funds.

Help children across the world

Sponsership helps some of the poorest people in the world.

As a child sponsor, you'll receive regular updates from overseas on the work you're helping to make possible - including messages or drawings from the child you sponsor. They'll also send you Common Cause, ActionAid's supporter magazine.

Payroll giving is a tax effective way for PAYE taxpayers to support ActionAid's work directly from their pay packet. There is no limit to how much you can give each month.
