Welcome

misean cara supports the development work of missionaries around the world. Irish missionaries have pioneered initiatives such as schools and hospitals in the areas of the world where there is most need. Now, as missionary organisations become increasingly international and their presence more necessary than ever, a new chapter of missionary support from Ireland has begun.

Established in 2004, we currently have 87 member organisations who are making a real difference in the fight against poverty within the communities where they live and work. Our members work in over 60 countries throughout Africa, Asia and Latin America. We support the uniqueness and humanity of the faith-based approach to development through providing funding, capacity building, and awareness raising assistance for this work. misean cara enables assistance from Ireland to be channelled to vital areas such as education, health care, humanitarian relief, and environmental protection.
