To date, the majority of donations are raised by volunteer trekkers who take part in sponsored treks organised to Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania & Mt. Everest Base Camp in Nepal. Annually, Childaid organises 4 - 5 such treks.

In addition, many supporters of Childaid freely give their time and energy to organise and run local fundraising initiatives such as sponsored cycles, race nights, pub-quizzes and sponsored Sky-dives!

Through the Irish Government's Development Co-operation Ireland (DCI) programme, Childaid has received co-funding for a number of our projects.

In our 2005 financial year, Childaid raised over €380,000 in donations and €90,000 in co-funding from DCI.
