Action Aid charity credit cards

The card that helps poor and excluded people to secure their rights.

How can you help?

  • Action Aid receives £15 for every account opened – this could train two local people in basic healthcare in Mozambique.
  • A further £2.50 is received if your account is used within six months – this could provide a jotter and a pen for fourteen children in a non-formal school in Ethiopia.
  • Plus 25p for every £100 you spend using the card and 25p for every £100 you transfer to the card - 23p could send a campaigning postcard to your local MP, supporting the rights of girls to go to school.
