Supporting ActionAid – Sponsor a Child Change a Life, Changing the World with Women and Girls

Supporting ActionAid – Changing the World with Women and Girls

At Diamond Star Experience, we are proud to support ActionAid, a global charity dedicated to empowering women and girls living in poverty. Through their inspiring work, ActionAid is helping build a more just and equal world by ending violence, challenging poverty, and ensuring that women and girls everywhere can shape the future they deserve.
Why We Support ActionAid
ActionAid works alongside communities across the world to address the deep-rooted issues that keep women and girls in poverty. Their locally-led approach focuses on long-term, sustainable change and puts the rights of women and girls at the centre of everything they do.

Sponsor a Child – Change a Life

At ActionAid, we believe every child deserves the chance to thrive.
By sponsoring a child, you’ll help provide essentials like food, education, and healthcare – giving a girl or boy in need the opportunity for a brighter future.
As their only sponsor, you’ll build a special bond. You'll receive photos, handwritten messages, and regular updates from their community, showing the real impact of your support.
You can choose where your sponsorship goes, or let our team match you with a child in one of the communities most in need.
It only takes a few minutes to become a child sponsor – but the difference you make will last a lifetime.

What Happens When You Become a Child Sponsor?

The moment you sign up, your journey begins.
We’ll send you a welcome pack with a photo of the child you’re sponsoring and a few details about their life and community. From there, a truly special connection begins to grow.
Twice a year, you’ll receive handwritten messages from the child – letters, drawings, or postcards – sharing their experiences, hopes, and dreams. You’ll also receive updates from our local staff on how your support is making a difference in their life and community.
You’re welcome to write back too – many sponsors find it deeply rewarding to build that personal connection. Over time, you’ll receive new photos marking special milestones, so you can witness the child you sponsor grow, learn, and thrive.

Women's and Girls' Rights

The denial of women's and girls' rights is one of the leading causes of poverty and inequality. ActionAid helps ensure that women and girls are safe, heard, and able to lead. From securing land rights to challenging injustice, their work supports women in claiming their full potential.
Ending Violence Against Women and Girls
Violence affects around one in three women and girls globally. This includes child marriage, female genital mutilation, sexual exploitation, and domestic abuse. ActionAid works within communities to prevent violence, support survivors, and create environments where women and girls can live free from fear.

Economic Empowerment

Women in developing countries are often in low-paid, insecure work, with limited access to land, loans, and equal pay. ActionAid helps women gain access to safe jobs, living wages, and social protections such as maternity leave. By reducing the burden of unpaid domestic work, they give women the opportunity to take control of their own lives.

Girls’ Education

Education is one of the most powerful tools for change. Educating girls improves health, reduces poverty, delays early marriage, and strengthens communities. Yet millions of girls are still out of school. ActionAid works to provide quality, inclusive education and helps girls overcome the barriers that prevent them from learning.

Together, we can help create lasting change.

I can not fault any part of the holiday and the service of Diamond Travel Experience . Easy to contact through what’s app anytime which was a great touch . I would strongly recommend Diamond star Experience for booking a holiday , We will def book again with them when returning to Turkey. Thanks and well done ! 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
