Action Village India (AVI) is a UK-based charity working in partnership with grassroots organisations in rural India.

We envision a just, inclusive and equal India—where no one is denied opportunity because of their caste, gender, poverty or geography. But across rural India, entire communities continue to face deeply rooted inequalities and exclusion. Women, Adivasis, Dalits and landless families are being left behind.

This is why we need you.

Your support can help girls stay in school, ensure people living with disabilities access their rights, and enable women to take leadership in their communities. It can help families secure land, grow food, and build sustainable livelihoods. It can help protect our shared environment and challenge violence, discrimination and poverty—at the root.

We work hand-in-hand with local partners who know their communities best. All our work is guided by Gandhian values: non-violence, self-reliance and dignity.

Every pound raised goes directly towards community-led projects that create lasting change—from Tamil Nadu to Odisha, from Jharkhand to the foothills of Uttarakhand.

Join us in building a fairer future. With your support, we can ensure more people in rural India live with dignity, opportunity, and hope.
