Christmas Party for Kids in Direct Provision
Event Information
About this Event
Abolish Direct Provision Ireland is a grassroots Campaign that was started in November 2018 with the main purpose of creating awareness about this horrible system of Direct Provision, empower asylum seekers while they wait for their papers to be process and engage the government to abolish this inhumane system that has been welcoming asylum seekers to Ireland since 2000.
There are currently approx 6000 asylum seekers in Ireland with 36% being Children between the age of 0-16 and over 44% being women.
We will be partnering with Afro in Disapora Centre to organise a Christmas Party for over 600 children living in Direct Provision. This Party is not about giving gifts but meeting asylum seekers and understanding their pain while we show solidarity at this time.
Please consider sponsoring a Child, Family or contributing to our Transport Fund. All persons will be send an E-Card from the families after the event.
