Actor Bill Nighy sees for himself how G8 money can help

We all know and love Bill Nighy for his starring roles in films such as Pirates of the Caribbean and Love Actually, but last week he left the bright lights behind and headed out to Tanzania with Oxfam to see the real difference that international aid can make.

Bill visited local hospitals, schools, women’s groups and food security projects in the remote Ngorongoro District of Tanzania to look at how the minimal international aid that has been delivered has already helped to fund long-term improvements.

He also saw how vital it is that each of the G8 leaders fulfils their aid promises. Only a collective effort from the world's richest nations will give the long-term support needed by poor countries to break out of poverty.
