They work around the world in 40 diffrent countries.Here are some interesting facts-

• 1 in 8 people go hungry every night,mostly children
• 1 in 3 familys live under £1 a day
• 95% of the worlds wealth is owned by men
• In Africa ladies aren't allowed to own land
• Actionaid work with over 20 million people 

 In Africa females do not get treated as equally as males.For example they can not own machines,if the man owns a farm and he dies the lady will get kicked out along with her children,if there is a boy in the family and the father is dead then the boy will grow up to take over and look after the mother and other children.
