In 1968, a group of Irish people saw suffering and famine in Biafra, and they didn’t wait for the world to act. Our community has grown, but our mission remains the same - because ending extreme poverty, wherever it is in the world, is our Concern.

The people of Ireland have long memories of hardship, famine, suffering. In every crisis, we see echoes of our past. When we see poverty, we make it our concern.

The spark, lit in 1968, blazes brightly as we face into 2026.

Thanks to all who supported us during 2025.
