IRFF UK

IRFF UK creates opportunities for human development, community welfare, and social progress through funding primary, secondary, and tertiary-level education projects, a soup kitchen, and health-support programmes such as period poverty relief in three countries. Founded in 1980, IRFF UK provides humanitarian relief to individuals and families devastated by poverty, illness, natural disasters and conflict including economic empowerment projects meeting the right of all human beings to have adequate food, shelter, education and access to medical care. IRFF UK is currently supporting 10 projects in five countries: - DR Congo: Helping Hope For Children to locally support 60 orphan/street children distributed between 20 foster families in Goma - Ghana: a vocational training project currently for 5 girls and a period poverty project serving about 700 girls so far - South Africa: a literacy project improving the lives of 72 10-11 year old children, a university education project supporting 6 students, a soup kitchen feeding 500 children and old people in need, and a period poverty project at a primary school regularly serving about 170 girls - Uganda: a primary school with 206 children and a period poverty project serving about 680 schoolgirls so far in three schools - An associated project in Senegal involving a primary school with 280 children There have also been infrastructure projects recently completed in Uganda, funded by IRFF UK, including security cameras and more fire extinguishers plus a biodigester toilet at Destiny Junior School in Uganda, and a water well being built at a neighbouring school. The numbers of persons who can be served (currently 3,800) solely depends at this stage on the income of the charity! IRFF UK is looking for individual donors, partnerships with more corporate donors and volunteers to work on research projects and fundraising.
