Thank you for helping the people of Gaza, There are so many attacks on people who show compassion and support for the people of Gaza so it is good to see that Miram and ActionAid are doing the right ...thing by practically helping people it what has become a desperate situation. And also standing up to the ridiculous, nasty and disturbing attacks on anyone whatever your heritage who wants to help in Gaza let alone questions Israeli state and behaviour. See More

So ... Gaza has billions to spend on rockets to launch at Israeli children and to pay for suicide murderers "salaries" and blood money to the families of terrorists who massacre innocent Israeli child...ren, the elder and other civilians ... but they REFUSE to feed their children?
Instead of enabling the terrorists you should hold them accountable!
Finally, why don't you show pictures of the real Gaza? The mansions, palaces and tree lined boulevards? The beautiful shopping malls and resort hotels? You are misleading good people into funding terror by showing pictures of a section destroyed because rockets were being launched from there.
If you truly want to help the children in Gaza you should sponsor innocent civilians to get rid of their blood thirst genocidal leaders.

They just keep writing a load of nonsense about Gaza. It is the action of the vile Hamas leadership that keeps Gaza in this state . Stop
Ignoring the facts . Israel withdrew from Gaza- so what do the ...fools do - they constantly bomb Israel. The Gazan children will get a better life when their leaders love their children more than their irrational hatred of Israel. Margoyles is a joke, especially among Jews. See More

So let me get this straight? Europe and the world sends billions to the areas you supposedly cover and 'help' still you have nothing to show for.

You waste donation money on: leaftlets, ads, free pa...ckages sent via the post and you pay your very uneducated staff to go badgering and banging doors in the UK.

We are aware you exist, if people don't donate is because they choose not to support a business like your, a business that despite it all is a money pit, not a charity.

Do not head any appeal from ActionAid a scandal ridden organization or as Trump will call it: fake organization. It is enough to make a search on google on Actionaid scandals to be revelatory. In my h...umble opinion it is a so called charity that doesn't deserve to be supported but exposed! See More

The area referred to as Palestine gets more aid money than any other region around the globe, but its elected leaders continue to steal it. How many palaces does Abbas have now? How many millions (or ...is it billions) does Mrs. Arafat have socked away in Swiss bank accounts? How much money is paid to so-called Palis terrorists for killing innocent Israeli civilians? Your ad is a disgrace. See More

It is unfortunate that people are unaware of the billions in aid that has been poured into the Palestinian cause without any effect. UNRWA funded by the world via the UN were discovered hiding muniti...ons for terrorists. There is a very high probability that any funds given will end up in terrorist hands. Certainly in Gaza, Hamas will seize monies. See More

Asking for donations and telling sob-stories about Gaza? A tiny strip of land that receives billions annually of aid funding from international communities and the EU (more money than syrian refugees ...have seen in 6 years)?! This page looks like a scam to me. See More

Don't give any money to this charity. It goes to terrorists so that they can attack and murder Israeli citizens. The terrorists get paid well to do this.

I've repeatedly, for years, asked not to keep sending me mail from the children as it's a waste of resources. Despite my many attempts I've never had a response from you on this. I'm fed up to keep r...eceiving letters, what a waste of my money so I'm stopping my donations today & directing towards another charity. What s shame. See More

We’d like to say a huge thank you to the players of People's Postcode Lottery for helping us tackle barriers to girls’ education in Kenya. In Kilifi county, we’ve been able to build a centre for young mothers forced to drop out of school, where they can receive counselling and take vocational courses in everything from tailoring to IT. Learning new skills gives girls the opportunity to earn an income, and hope for the future.

On 6 February 1918, some women in the UK gained the right to vote for the first time. It was a crucial step forward for women’s rights. But 100 years on, we still have a long way to go globally to ensure that women’s voices are heard equally loudly, not just at the ballot box, but at all levels of government too. Women across the world are rising to the challenge, despite the barriers thrown up in their way. #StillMarching http://bit.ly/2saYlz0
