Trócaire was established by the Catholic Church in 1973 as a way for Irish people to donate to development and emergency relief overseas. Our dual mandate is to support the most vulnerable people in the developing world, while also raising awareness of injustice and global poverty in Ireland. Trócaire works in partnership with the Catholic Church and civil society organisations in over 20 developing countries globally. These networks provide us with local experience and knowledge, which are vital in bringing about lasting change.
