K.A.S.I. CLG

KASI - Killarney Immigrant Support Centre is a charitable NGO operating from Killarney, Co. Kerry, dedicated to assisting international protection applicants, refugees and other migrants across the region. The organisation offers a multi-functional hub where individuals can drop in for information, advice and administrative support, as well as attend free English classes, training workshops and a range of intercultural events. KASI also runs awareness-raising programmes in schools and the wider community, and provides volunteering opportunities that help build bridges between cultures.

In addition to its Killarney base, KASI delivers an outreach service four days a week at the Drishane Direct Provision Centre in Millstreet, Co. Cork, supporting families and individuals with tailored assistance. Funded by the HSE-South and the EU Asylum Migration and Integration Fund, the centre collaborates with local agencies, shares best practice and engages in advocacy to improve policy and service provision for migrants throughout the south of Ireland.
