ActionAid and Chembakolli ActionAid (a registered charity) is a unique partnership of people who are fighting for a world without poverty, in which every person can exercise their right to a life of dignity.

ACCORD, an Indian Non-Governmental Organisation, believes that the Adivasi people of the Nilgiri Hills should claim their land rights peacefully and helped them form their own organisation called the Adivasi Munnetra Sangam (AMS).

The Adivasi people are the original people of the region. They had suffered from losing the land they depended on. Members of the Adivasi community, ACCORD and ActionAid set out to make sure the Adivasi people gained their land back and held on to it.

ActionAid UK's Schools department has worked with ACCORD to produce a range of educational resources. 10% of the income from all Chembakolli products goes directly to the AMS.

You can sign up to sponsor children in many places around the internet. Save the Children, World Vision, Actionaid and Plan are just a few examples. Beware though, many websites will also try and get your money any way they can.

There are many examples of charity organizations that help children as this is an issue that is taken seriously on a global scale. For example, save the children, actionaid, canines for disabled kids and Make a wish foundation.
