Practical Action is an international development agency working with poor communities to help them choose and use
technology to improve their lives for today and generations to come. Our work in Africa, Asia and Latin America is in
partnership with poor people and their communities, using technology to challenge poverty. We work with poor people to
build their capabilities, improve their access to technical options and knowledge and help them to influence the social,
economic and institutional systems for the use of technology.
