Gulf partnerships

In English / In Arabic

At ActionAid, we build long-term relationships with individuals, foundations and corporations from the Gulf region.

Our partners and donors provide significant funding to help us support the most vulnerable during a humanitarian crisis and to help end poverty.

Donate to the Gaza Crisis Appeal

ActionAid is responding to the emergency in Gaza following the alarming escalation of violence in Gaza and Israel.

With the region now completely cut off from food, electricity, water and fuel, the humanitarian need in Gaza is acute.

We urgently need your help. Please donate now.

Become a Gulf partner

Our dedicated Gulf team can provide you with bespoke projects and reporting to suit your philanthropic and faith-inspired giving, enabling you to help reduce poverty and support women and girls in need.

We offer a range of exciting opportunities to our strategic partners: you would be invited to exclusive events with our country programme staff; you will have the opportunity to visit our work in-country; and you will gain insight into global events and emergencies so that you can see first hand what your donation has achieved.

Our projects are unique and we are working closely with Gulf funders to achieve maximum impact.

Why work with ActionAid?

At ActionAid, we do things differently. We focus on working with women and girls living in poverty. We are ending violence and fighting poverty so that all women, everywhere, can create a brighter future.

We work with local communities over the long term. Our staff are local, based in the regions and countries where we work. We understand the deep-rooted problems facing women and girls and work alongside whole communities to find solutions.

Where does your money go?

At ActionAid, we accept both Zakat1 where 100% of your donation reaches the beneficiary and Sadaqah gifts.

For instance, we are channelling Zakat donations to drought-affected households in Somaliland this Ramadan to ensure people’s basic needs are met.

Together, we can ensure that your gift has the maximum impact and creates sustainable change for the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people.

We'd love to talk to you about how we can ensure your donation makes a real difference.
