Now in its 10th year, the Our World Irish Aid Awards are designed to help children in Ireland understand global issues, and Ireland’s role in working to meet the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
These goals focus on fighting hunger and poverty and improving the lives of those in the world’s poorest countries.
