Action Village India

Action Village India (AVI) is a UK-based charity founded in 1989, dedicated to supporting rural communities in India to achieve sustainable livelihoods, social justice, and improved well-being. AVI partners with grassroots organisations across India, who are deeply rooted in Gandhian principles of nonviolence, equity, and self-sufficiency. Their approach prioritises building long-standing solidarity and partnerships over traditional funding cycles, allowing them to remain responsive to community needs to address poverty, gender inequity, and limited access to resources for marginalised communities.
