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 2022
Join the Foundation as we ‘virtually’ walk from the island of Ireland to the Foundation’s three core countries – The Gambia, Sierra Leone and Ethiopia.
We want staff and volunteers from credit unions all over Ireland to walk 40 million steps collectively and help us raise money for our work in these three countries. Check out our How to Fundraise page to see exciting ways your credit union can raise money and take on this challenge!
Together we are walking to build a path to enable independence and empower credit union members in the countries where we work.
