Practical Action

Practical Action

Our strength is our approach: we find out what people are doing and help them to do it better.

Through technology we enable poor communities to build on their skills and knowledge to produce sustainable and practical solutions - transforming their lives forever and protecting the world around them.

By doing this each year we help over a million people break out of the cycle of poverty ... for good.
