Village Aid is an international development charity that has been working successfully with rural organisations in West Africa since 1989. Working with 8 partner organisations in five West African countries we have a unique approach to development and believe that:
- African people are best able to deal with their own problems
- African communities should set the agenda for their own development
- Small scale is often the right scale
-
People in the UK care about ending poverty in Africa and can show their commitment to this by supporting Village Aid
We invest in people – Africans who work towards a better future for their communities.

Our Vision
A world of protection and opportunity for children living alone and at risk on the streets.
Railway Children is an international children's charity. We fight for vulnerable children who live alone at risk on the streets, where they suffer abuse and exploitation.
In the UK, society often denies their existence, and in other countries the problem is so prevalent that it has become 'normal'.
They run away or are forced to leave homes where they suffer poverty, violence, abuse and neglect. They find themselves living on the streets because there is nowhere else to go and no one left to turn to. The problems they face on the streets are often even worse than those they endured at home. Every day we fight to change their story.
Railway Children race to reach children as soon as they arrive on the streets and intervene before an abuser can. Our pioneering work enables us to get to street children before the streets get to them.
What if I change my mind?
Simply by completing a donation form, you can choose to support Railway Children, directly from your pay.
