WHO WE ARE
Aidlink is a development organisation, founded in 1982 in Dublin. We strive to achieve gender equality and end poverty in Africa, while also raising awareness of global inequality in Ireland.
For almost forty years Aidlink has worked to improve the lives of the most vulnerable and excluded, creating a longterm impact in the communities that we reach.
We are committed to making a lasting effect on the lives of girls, both in their day-to-day lives and in their position in society, while at the same time, working to build livelihoods and improve community well-being.
Our programmes aim to deliver sustainable change. By listening to the voices of the community and through our partnerships we work to address
the structural causes of inequality and poverty. We believe that by putting the furthest behind first – often girls – we can support entire communities’ growth.
