Akidwa welcomes you to Ireland Donates!

Each year in Ireland, companies dispose of vast quantities of IT equipment, furniture and office supplies - the very items that charities and NGO’s need but simply can’t afford due to their tight budgets and limited funding. Ireland Donates is an exchange portal for items like these, created to aid organizations nationally and internationally within the social field and help reduce waste on the environment while promoting the work of NGO’s internationally.

Ireland Donates is part of AkiDwA, (Akina Dada wa Africa in Swahili meaning sisterhood), an authoritative, minority ethnic-led national network of African and migrant women living in Ireland. AkiDwA is a non-governmental organisation with charitable status that was established in August 2001 by a group of African women to address the needs of an expanding population of African and migrant women resident in Ireland. 

If you or your company have something you wish to donate, simple click on the "On Offer" button and submit the details. Similarly if your group is in need of an item or service, simple click on the "Wanted" section and enter the request. Since you will never be asked to register your details or to become a member of Ireland Donates, the whole process will take less then a minute.

Items and services needed by charities, NGO's and community groups include the following:

- Office Furniture

- Computers, software (Office Software, Anti-Virus packages, image design packages, etc...)

- Printers, Photocopiers, Fax Machines and Phones

- Manpower (Expertise and Assistance)

- Transport Services, Packaging, Advertising.

Ireland Donates also welcomes individuals and other NGO's/charities to post items they feel might be wanted or needed by others in the field. By working together, we can make a difference!
