You don’t need to be a blogging expert, you just need to have an open mind and be passionate about fighting the root causes of poverty.

Social injustice and poverty are easy to ignore when hidden from view. Your mission will be to help bring attention to the scandal of poverty.

As ActionAid’s outreach blogger, you will give poverty a voice by:

- travelling to a remote area of an ActionAid program country

- training locals to use tools such as Twitter and blogs to shine a light on social injustice and human rights abuses

- reporting on your experiences on your own blog
