Routes

These projects are representative of our work.  While each project is different, poverty is at the root of the issues we’re working to address.

Routes

 

Ethiopia 

Self Help Groups enable people to lift themselves out of poverty. This community-led approach builds relationships, brings hope and facilitates whole-life transformation. This project is supported by Irish Aid.


Cambodia 

Tearfund Ireland works with parents, families and community leaders in Cambodia to keep children from living in orphanages: to protect them from trafficking and enable them to remain with their families.


Lebanon

Tearfund Ireland works with a local church based partner to help Syrian refugees in Lebanon. Food vouchers, hygiene kits, and education for children are some of the ways we have provided assistance.
