CHILDAID

Childaid is a charity for CHILDREN. We fund and support projects on the ground in Africa that improve the living conditions and welfare of disadvantaged children, with particular emphasis on education.

We believe that the long term solution to the African problem lyes in empowering future generations to make their own decisions, and work closely with children who reside in slum areas. To date we have given thousands of children access to education, and so helped raise their expectations of life.

We raise funds by organising group treks to Kilimanjaro, Everest and other attractive destinations, ensuring that trekkers are given a first hand experience of the projects their funding assists. Our trips therefore have a unique mix of hands on experience, mountains, trekking, and that great Irish tradition "plenty of Craic"

We run trips to Mount Kenya (Mar), Kilimanjaro (Aug), and Everest Base Camp (Oct/Nov) each year. Details of these treks can be viewed on our website, in the event listings section of this site, or by contacting our office on 021 4222985
