TROCAIRE worker Kevin Donnelly is asking the people of Fermanagh to support the charity’s work with refugees and other vulnerable groups throughout the developing world this Christmas.
Last year, over £830,000 was donated to Trocaire at Christmas, allowing the humanitarian agency to provide life-changing support to communities in over twenty countries around the world.
Kevin, who is Trocaire’s regional manager, said: “I would like to say a huge thank you to the people of Co Fermanagh for their continued support of our overseas programmes. I have seen the impact these donations have made on the ground. It is no exaggeration to say that they are life-changing.
“Now more than ever we need to give the gift of hope and solidarity to those experiencing conflict and extreme poverty in the developing world.
“Our Christmas appeal is vital for supporting our projects throughout the year, while our ethical Christmas gifts range allows people in County Fermanagh to buy real, practical gifts for some of the most vulnerable people in the world.”
Trocaire, working in Serbia, Greece, Syria and Lebanon, is responding to the urgent needs of Syrian refugees by providing them with shelter, hot food, shoes, hygiene kits, baby supplies and health services.
To support their work this Christmas visit trocaire.org or call 0800 912 1200.
