Support Us

At Skillshare International Ireland we believe that fighting, poverty inequality and injustice is achieved through partnership and community. So we want to involve you and all members of the Irish community as partners in our work.
We support people working to improve lives in their communities, e.g.:

• Networks of people living with HIV/AIDS in Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique & Swaziland.
• Ditshwanelo, an organisation in Botswana which promotes and protects human rights by advocating for legislative change, educating the public, conducting research and providing direct para-legal support to individuals below the poverty line.

Irish Aid, the government's development assistance programme, are lead-funding these programmes, but Skillshare must find €1 to match every €3 the government puts in.

One way you can help is by making a financial contribution to our programmes in Southern Africa. There are several easy ways to give:

What you can do
