ElectricAid’s January round – a great start in quality funding.
For once, the pressure of application numbers eased for our January round. We considered 15 applications, about half the average number.

From Fitzwilliam Street to East Africa!
Last evening (23.05.2017), the ElectricAid Committee met to consider the outstanding success of our “Leaving Fitzwilliam” online auction – €20,000 has been raised, with some more to come. These monies could go straight into our general funds, to be used for development projects through the year. However, consider the gravity of the developing food crisisContinue reading “From Fitzwilliam Street to East Africa!”
