Serve in Solidarity Ireland

Serve in Solidarity Ireland is an Irish development and volunteering organisation dedicated to creating equitable opportunities for young people living in poverty across the Global South. Working from bases in Cork and Belfast, SERVE partners with local communities and organisations in countries such as Mozambique, Brazil, Zimbabwe, South Africa, India, Zambia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Namibia, Thailand and others to deliver high-quality vocational and educational programmes that help youth secure employment or launch their own enterprises.

The charity offers a range of ways for supporters to get involved, including a volunteer programme, fundraising events (such as the Cork Marathon and other races), a shop where donors can purchase gifts that directly benefit partner communities, and membership or donor schemes. All activities are aligned with the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals, ensuring that each contribution supports broader global objectives while making a tangible difference in the lives of vulnerable young people.
