About Us
gorta is an independent, international development NGO and the Irish partner of the FAO. We are a not-for-profit organisation working to the highest professional, business and ethical standards. Our intention is to contribute powerfully to the eradication of the causes of hunger and extreme thirst in the world. We are not an emergency relief organisation.
Our approach to long term development is holistic, multi-disciplinary and creative. We encourage integrated solutions recognising the inter-dependent relationship that exists between food and water security, health, education and social enterprise.
gorta’s vision is a world where there is no hunger and where the poorest rural communities have the means to create a positive future for themselves and their children. gorta is a rural development organisation that aims to improve long-term food security primarily in sub-Saharan Africa.
gorta implements innovative and effective strategic partnerships with some of the world's poorest communities focusing on:
- Water and food security that sustains life
- Healthcare that saves lives
- Education that empowers
- Livelihoods that create prosperity
...in a manner that strives to achieve social, environmental and economic justice for all.
