Who Supports Us

Traidlinks is supported by a host of organisations that donate both financial resources and 'in-kind' contributions of skills and expertise to Traidlinks' programmes of activities.

Irish Aid

Irish Aid has been Traidlinks’ principal financial donor and played a crucial catalytic role in the establishment of the Organisation. Traidlinks was brought about through the Irish Government's Private Sector Forum of 2004, exploring how best to support enterprise in developing countries, which was hosted by the then Minister for Development Cooperation, Tom Kitt TD. Irish Aid has continued to support Traidlinks' work both financially and through the provision of technical advice and support through Irish diplomatic missions in Africa.

ESB ElectricAID

ESB ElectricAID has committed to sponsor two of our 2010 Business Management Workshops in Uganda.

Heart of Africa

Jacob Fruitfield Food Group has committed to reinvesting all the profit made through sales of this brand to Traidlinks to provide additional support to enterprise development projects in Africa.
