Looking for some fun ideas?
January can feel a bit cold and dreary – so here’s an
idea to bring a little brightness into the day and
make it orange!
Any orangey thoughts how?

Have a bath in baked beans?
Wear something orange
Make some orange cakes
Paint your nails orange
And all for a great cause…
To help Practical Action…
Improve the lives of people who live in poverty in
developing countries.
Practical Action’s projects make a massive difference
to brighten up the lives of families and communities.
And here’s how…
Here’s how we do it..
Practical Action enables people
to learn skills and have access
to technology that makes their
lives better. In Bangladesh,
floating gardens are being
developed to enable families to
grow vegetables to feed
themselves during the many
months of flooding.
Eco-loos
In Zimbabwe, Practical Action is
working with communities to
improve access to clean water and
toilets. These ‘eco-loos’ are dry
toilets that don’t need water and
could bring vital sanitation to
thousands of people, helping to
reduce the spread of deadly
diseases such as cholera and
dysentery.
What your money could buy…
By having an OrangeAid day in
January and raising money
Practical Action promise to put
your money to a great cause.
With the school’s support…
• £140 could buy five floating
gardens for families in
Bangladesh.
• £380 could buy an Eco-loo for
a community in Zimbabwe.
• £1,000 could secure a wind
turbine for a village in Peru.
What next?
We’d love it if you could work with your teachers to
decide on some great ways to raise money for OrangeAid
at your school.
If you’re feeling a bit stuck for fundraising ideas we have
some ideas for you – but sure you’ll have a lot more of
your own too!
Good luck with planning the day and a very big
THANK YOU
from
Practical Action.
