Education is key to breaking the poverty cycle and improving health, nutrition, and opportunities for all children throughout Ireland.
Our ambition is to give every child in Ireland equal access to a brighter future by funding evidence based educational programmes that tackle complex issues arising as children journey through their educational lifecycle to reach their life goals. With our eyes on a better future, we offer hope to children who wouldn't normally have access to support structures that allow them to reach their potential.
