Actionaid - Sponsor a Child

It only takes a few minutes to become a child sponsor, but you could change a child’s life forever.

Our Commitment to a Better World

At Diamond Star Experience, our passion for travel goes hand in hand with our dedication to making a positive impact. As a proud supporter of global charitable initiatives, we are committed to building a just, equitable, and sustainable world—where everyone has the right to live with dignity, free from poverty and oppression.

Our Mission

We partner with organizations working tirelessly to promote social justice, gender equality, and the eradication of poverty. Through these partnerships, we support communities, grassroots groups, activists, and social movements that empower people living in poverty and exclusion.

Our Approach

We believe in a human rights-based approach that puts people at the heart of change. We focus especially on women and girls, whose rights are too often denied—creating one of the root causes of poverty across the globe. By supporting initiatives that collaborate directly with communities, women’s groups, and local networks, we help tackle the deeper structural causes of poverty and injustice. When you travel with Diamond Star Experience, you're not just exploring the world—you’re helping change it for the better.

Actionaid - Sponsor a Child

ActionAid believes that all children should have an equal chance to thrive.

Your sponsorship will make a huge difference to a girl or boy in need – ensuring they have enough to eat, an education and hope for the future.

As their only sponsor, you’ll have a special relationship with your sponsored child. You’ll receive photos, handwritten messages and regular updates from their community.

You can choose where you sponsor a child, as well as their age and gender - or you can leave it to our team to decide; they know which communities are in greatest need. It only takes a few minutes to become a child sponsor, but you could change a child’s life forever.

Here at Diamond Star Experience, we are in cooperation with Actionaid, Giving a better future for a child in need.

If you would like to take part in this important project, then you can sponsor a child now with the costs at just £19.50 a month and helps to pay for food, water, education and healthcare.. Your donation certificate will be sent to you via email.

ActionAid history

ActionAid was founded in 1972, when we started working with local communities in India and Kenya. Our programmes focused on meeting local needs in areas including education, health and livelihoods.

We were one of the first UK charities to offer child sponsorship , and we have been transforming the lives of children and their families ever since.

In the 1980s we shifted the focus of our work to tackling the root causes of poverty as well as meeting people’s immediate needs. We realised that in order to create lasting change we had to look at the reasons why people are poor. We support people from poor and marginalised communities to challenge injustice and claim the rights they are entitled to.

We also work with local communities to improve livelihoods, increase access to water, gain access to basic healthcare and find new ways of making a living.

Today we work with more than 15 million people living in more than 40 of the world’s poorest countries.

A truly wonderful Break" Mrs Wilson - 21 Aug 2025

"A week's trip on Perla del Mar captained by Mustafa, with chef Dohan, and crew Cem, Emre and Meric turned out to be the best family holiday we had ever booked. Akin's recommendation of the boat was spot on. Dohan's menu and cooking was absolutely excellent. The crew went out of their way to assist us at every opportunity and their care and attention to the children on the trip was exemplary. There wasn't a single fault that on the whole trip, the transfers worked perfectly, the crew were there to greet us at Marmaris and led us through the alleys to the waterside where the amazing boat in front of us was to be ours for a week. We were all taken aback and realised that Mum's mad dream was coming to fruition. A holiday found by google, sold to us by Akin who took the trouble to explain everything turned out to be beyond the dreams of all of us. Canoeing in quiet coves, swimming and snorkelling to our hearts content then served with drinks and snacks before amazing meals and enjoying the trips between coves became the order of each day. I can firmly recommend this holiday to anyone. It was simply amazing." Christine - 25 May 2025

" We went to Diamond Star experience because they offer multi-centre holidays and had good ratings. We were in no way disappointed with what was organised. We said that we wanted a few days in Athens and then a week on a relatively quiet island. Akin made a proposal (Athens then Naxos) and then, when we agreed, organised everything. The Athens hotel was central and accessible to the main sites and to restaurants, and was of very good quality. The choice of Naxos for the island was equally good and we stayed in an excellent three star hotel on the edge of the town within easy reach of the beach and restaurants. All transfers were efficiently organised and even when there was a transport hiccup (our fault!) there was a phone call from the Athens back-up team within the hour to find out what had happened.
Thank you very much, Akin and staff, for a really enjoyable holiday and for service which can be easily be recommended. " Mr Alan Fraser - 19 May 2025
