We believe together is better, and that the efforts of many different communities uniting for one cause is the solution to a better future.  

If you are a charitable trust or foundation looking to partner with UNICEF, we want to hear from you.

Thanks to our joint collaborations with various trusts, we have managed to carry out a number of life-changing projects campaigning for better children’s rights. Our WASH programme is but one.

Our long-lasting alliance with the Cathal Ryan Trust

UNICEF Ireland is proud of our current charitable partnership with the Cathal Ryan Trust, with whom we have enjoyed a number of successful co-creations for helping children fulfill their potential.

A long and fruitful collaboration, in 2014 UNICEF and the Cathal Ryan Trust spent four years creating transformative change for communities affected by conflict in North Sri Lanka. The Cathal Ryan Trust then went on to invest in child protection measures and helped set up a number of small businesses.

Since then, the Trust has gone on to invest €3.5 million in the UNICEF youth empowerment scheme in South Africa; working endlessly to support vulnerable young people make the transition to adulthood.

What are the benefits of partnering with UNICEF?

Our charitable partnerships are mutually exclusive and guarantee trust and teamwork towards a better future for children.
