About Us
Every Child Is Your Child is a community group based in Limerick, set up with the overall goal of raising funds to assist families living in direct provision with school-related essentials and costs. Over 7,200 asylum seekers live in direct provision,
30% OF RESIDENTS ARE CHILDREN.
ECIYC aims to protect the rights and well-being of children living in the direct provision system. We strive to achieve our mission through awareness-raising events, community engagement, and fundraising events to assist parents in fulfilling the educational needs of their children.
We raise these much-needed funds through an annual fundraising dinner event at the Thomond Park stadium in Limerick and through sales of our epic Ubuntu merchandise. We also run an annual backpack drive-in between June and August, and our Christmas gift voucher drives between November and December.
OUR CURRENT CAMPAIGNS
Ubuntu Nguni has been featured in the epic new single from multiple Grammy award winners Arrested Development. Their new album titled “For the FKN Love” is so perfect for this campaign. Check this OUT
100% of proceeds for Every Child is Your Child to support children and their families living in Direct Provision with educational essentials. For the FKN love, get one!
Enormous thanks to Arrested Development & Speech for his unwavering support for equality, humanity, and justice.
There are several designs to choose from so search Ubuntu Nguni at www.everpress.com, OR GET YOURS HERE! and get choosing your design and your garment!
