BBC Media Action

People need information to help them make decisions and to know their rights. But many people in the developing world lack access to useful, timely and reliable information.
BBC Media Action is the BBC’s international development charity. It uses the power of media and communication to help reduce poverty and support people in understanding their rights.
For over a decade it has been working to help transform lives in some of the poorest, hardest-to-reach parts of the world. Its projects reach more than 200 million people in 24 countries where media can be used to inform, connect and empower.
The global reach and reputation of the BBC strengthen its work, but it is not funded by the licence fee. As a registered charity, grants and donations make the work possible.

hunger and the damage it does. We work for a world where lives are not limited by lack of access to enough nutritious food.

knowledge to tackle hunger in the long term.

Hope and Homes for Children

It is estimated that 8 million children worldwide are growing up in orphanages. Orphanages are abusive, neglectful and treat children as mere numbers. Studies of young adults who grew up in orphanages have shown that up to 1 in 3 will end up homeless and 1 in 10 will commit suicide.  These are the lucky ones, some institutions have mortality rates of 80%.

Our vision is a world in which children no longer suffer institutional care. We work in over 24 countries, providing on-the-ground expertise (setting up fostering, adoption, family support and other systems); technical support to other charities and authorities (training and advice); and advocacy (influencing and lobbying governments and international organisations) to ensure the needs of each individual child are at the heart of child protection.

When we started our work in Romania in 1999 there were 100,000 children in orphanages, now there are less than 10,000.  We have commitment from six governments in the countries we work, to close all their orphanages.  We believe we can end the injustice of the institutionalisation of children.

ORBIS

Since 1982, we’ve been to over 90 countries, trained 385,000 health care professionals and provided eye care to more than 15 million people.

That is why, with the help of over 500 medical volunteers and our unique Flying Eye Hospital, we train eye care specialists in developing countries to prevent and treat avoidable blindness, allowing people to work, children to go to school and potentially break free from the cycle of poverty.

Peace Direct

Peace Direct works to stop conflict and save lives. Every week 1,000 people will die in wars and up to 15,000 more will die from related causes like malnutrition. This has to stop.

We support local people to find their own solutions to conflict. In the world’s most fragile countries, we seek out dynamic local people who are making a real difference, building peace in the heart of their own communities. They are disarming rebels, resettling refugees, protecting the vulnerable, uniting communities and restarting economies. They work at great personal risk to prevent, resolve and heal conflicts, and break the cycles of violence.

Local people understand the causes of conflict and what needs to be done to stop it. And they refuse to give up on peace, because it’s where they live and raise their families.

Your gift will support them as they stop violence and save lives.

Plan

We work with some of the world's poorest children, in countries where one out of five die before the age of five, and those who survive often go hungry and have no chance of learning to read or write. We sit down with these children, their parents and the community to plan practical ways to provide all the things we take for granted, so that together we build schools, drill wells, train health workers and help families support themselves.

We seek to ensure that children are actively involved in the decision-making process, working with adults who have learnt to value their contribution. This work is possible because a million people across the world sponsor a child with Plan and in doing so benefit many other children and entire communities. The aim is that when we leave 10-15 years later the children have a better start in life, know their rights and have the confidence to claim them for the next generation. Their energy can provide the impetus to change their world.

Prisoners Abroad

Every year thousands of British people are detained in over 100 countries – often in horrific conditions which can cause severe physical and mental suffering. We assist British citizens during their incarceration and when they return to the UK, and we also support their family and friends throughout the trauma.
Prisoners Abroad is the only UK charity caring for British citizens in this way. Our services provide a lifeline to 1,700 prisoners a year, many of whom face extreme isolation and malnutrition. We support over 1,500 family members in the UK, helping them to better cope with the ordeal of having a loved one in prison overseas. We also provide a crisis service for over 150 ex-prisoners each year, who arrive in the UK with nothing and nowhere to go, to ensure they have a place to live and help to get back on their feet.
We are non-judgmental and provide assistance regardless of the stage of the legal process or the verdict, because we believe that people in prison should retain their human rights and dignity – wherever they are in the world, whatever their sentence.

Sense International

Sense International is a leading global charity supporting people with deafblindness in Bangladesh, India, Kenya, Nepal, Peru, Romania, Tanzania and Uganda. Children with deafblindness in these countries desperately need to receive education and healthcare. Without this, many will lead short, lonely lives.

For over 20 years we have been working in partnership with local organisations to provide expert support and services to people with deafblindness. We demonstrate to governments that people with deafblindness are worth investing in. And we put support in place so that we can walk away and leave solid expertise behind.

With this support, children with deafblindness can learn to communicate, to develop self-care skills, receive an education and perhaps find a job. Rather than being excluded they can thrive and live as valued human beings.
