Practical Action operates as an international development group, dedicated to fostering sustainable lives and livelihoods among those entrenched in poverty and impacted by climate change.
Their vision encompasses a world that functions more effectively for all inhabitants. Presently, the global climate crisis and environmental challenges pose significant threats to progress made against poverty. However, within Practical Action, the belief persists that where there exists action, there also exists hope.
In collaboration with communities and global partners, Practical Action endeavors to devise unconventional, practical solutions to foster sustainable livelihoods amidst the challenges of poverty and climate change. Their aim is to transform mere survival into thriving existence and to combat injustices, particularly those faced by women and vulnerable demographics.
The organization maintains faith in the notion that societies and economies can operate for the collective good, and that it's possible to live within the planet's ecological limits. They champion innovation and cooperation as formidable tools to surmount any obstacle.
Their work involves partnering with communities to devise sustainable, locally-driven solutions spanning agriculture, water and waste management, climate resilience, and clean energy initiatives. Moreover, they actively disseminate successful approaches to expedite the adoption of transformative solutions.
