Fórsa has made a donation to the Migrant Rights Centre Ireland (MRCI), a national non-governmental organisation working to advance the rights of migrant workers and their families.

The donation was made through the Irelanders Club and the proceeds will go towards helping people at risk of exploitation, social exclusion, and discrimination.

MRCI is a national organisation working to advance the rights of migrant workers and their families who are at risk.

MRCI provides free, reliable and confidential information to thousands of people through their national Drop-In Centre on issues such as immigration, trafficking for labour exploitation, employment and housing.

The union has also recently made a big impact by supporting the Ibidunni Ighodalo Foundation, a non-profit organisation created to raise awareness on issues pertaining to infertility and to provide grants for poor couples that require fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intrauterine insemination.

This amazing organisation also provides psychological support to women to deal with pressures they face along their journey to conception including societal stigma. They also assist in feeding and clothing underprivileged children.

The foundation partners with reputable fertility clinics in Nigeria and with other donors to provide couples with the financial and material support they require during the treatment.

Fórsa official Olajide Odigan said the organisation does stellar work in raising awareness about infertility and the challenges associated with it.

“They work to stop the stigmatisation of couples dealing with infertility and to provide the spiritual, financial and psychological support they require and we at Fórsa are very proud to be able to contribute to this great cause.

This is all possible through the member’s subscriptions and it’s great to share the amazing impact that union subscriptions can make with the members,” said Olajide.

The donations to both the foundations were made though the Irelanders Club.
