About the International Development Foundation
The Foundation was established by the Irish League of Credit Unions to share the Irish credit union experience and work with credit union movements internationally to ensure a collective aim – financial inclusion for people and communities everywhere.
The Foundation provides access to the knowledge, expertise and support required to develop credit unions and achieve financial inclusion in low-income developing countries.
About the CU Challenge 2023
Join the Foundation and Irish credit unions as we walk, run, swim and cycle around the island of Ireland.
For this year’s CU Challenge we want to make every kilometre count. We are going to the 32 counties, passing 100 Credit Unions on our route. We want your credit union to #GoTheDistance – your team can walk, run, swim or cycle throughout the 7 days!
We want credit union teams to #GoTheDistance and help us raise awareness and funds for in support of our work in low-income developing countries. Check out our Taking Part page to see exciting ways your credit union team can take on this year’s CU Challenge and raise funds.
Together we are building a path to enable independence and empower credit union members in the countries where we work.
