What we do


We are reminded on a daily basis that the natural environment in which we live is vitally important for our well-being, whether it is in the form of climate change, global warming, declining fertility or dwindling natural resources.


ACTSA: Action for Southern Africa is the successor organisation to the Anti-Apartheid Movement in the United Kingdom.

The United Kingdom has historically played a leading role in developing parliamentary democracy and in advancing literature and science. At its zenith in the 19th century, the British Empire stretched over one-fourth of the earth's surface. The first half of the 20th century saw the UK's strength seriously depleted in two world wars and the Irish Republic's withdrawal from the union. The second half witnessed the dismantling of the Empire and the UK rebuilding itself into a modern and prosperous European nation.

    We develop leaders with a social purpose so that they can transform their communities, organisations and the world around them.

    We help make social change happen by supporting and investing in people - people who we think can become leaders with the resilience, self-awareness and capabilities to tackle the social challenges of the 21st century.
