East Africa Crisis – ElectricAid responds.
ElectricAid’s funding of €5,000 each for Concern, Plan Ireland, Christian Aid and Trócaire was presented today (29.03.2017) outside ESB Fitzwilliam Street.

Drought & Food Crisis in Ethiopia – Who Knew?
The current drought and food emergency in Ethiopia directly threatens 10-11 million people – yet it seems to have been largely ignored by the media up to this point. It has not gained the traction of publicity, possibly because of Brexit, political dramas, and maybe even the Euros. The crisis is thought to be causedContinue reading “Drought & Food Crisis in Ethiopia – Who Knew?”

MIGRANT CRISIS – ELECTRICAID RESPONDS
Many members have contacted us in the last week, asking about ElectricAid’s response to the unfolding migrant crisis in Europe. Initially, we were reluctant to get involved – we had “gone to the well” with the Special Appeal for Nepal so very recently. We also felt that this was a crisis (and failure) of politicalContinue reading “MIGRANT CRISIS – ELECTRICAID RESPONDS”
