Paris Gaels GAA is looking for your support to help raise funds for the club and to support GOAL’s Housing programme in Uganda.  The Paris Gaels GAA club are running the Paris Semi Marathon on March 7th 2010 to raise money for GOAL & Paris Gaels!

50% of the money collected by Paris Gaels will be donated to GOAL, which has worked with the poorest of the poor in Uganda since 1979, and has recently embarked on a project to build homes for families that have been affected by HIV/AIDS. To date GOAL have built close to 1000 houses in this East African country, which is home to hundreds of thousands of orphans due to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

We are asking the staff, members, patrons and friends of Paris Gaels to support this fundraising effort for GOAL’s housing project.

Help GOAL through Paris Gaels build brand new homes for vulnerable families in Uganda. It costs €1,400 to build a 2 room house and €4,000 to build a 4 room house.

GOAL is a humanitarian NGO (Non Governmental Organisation) founded more than 30 years ago, and based in Dublin, Ireland. Since it’s foundation, GOAL has worked, and continues to work in many developing countries ensuring the poorest and indeed most vulnerable people in our world can benefit from the fundamental rights of life, which we all take for granted, like water, food, accommodation, education, and medical care.
