Welcome to Southill Children's Fund
Nurturing Hope and Opportunities in Ireland and Boston
At Southill Children’s Fund, we are committed to ensuring that every child has a future brimming with hope and opportunities. For over thirty years, we’ve devoted ourselves to transforming the lives of children not just in Southill and Limerick, but across Ireland and now in Boston. Our mission is to empower young lives through education, cultural exchanges, and supportive programs, regardless of the challenges they face – be it high unemployment, limited educational resources, or social difficulties. We are dedicated to helping children rise above these obstacles, nurturing their potential, and fostering positive change, one child at a time. Join us in our expanded journey as we strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children in Ireland and Boston. Together, we can create brighter futures for all.

About Us
Since 1985, we’ve been dedicated to empowering children facing adversity.
Our roots are in Southill, where we launched programs to encourage education, sports, and creative pursuits—helping hundreds of young people build brighter futures.
Over the years, we’ve united children from Ireland and Boston, creating opportunities for growth, cultural exchange, and lifelong friendships.
Today, our mission is evolving:
We believe every child, wherever they live, deserves the tools and guidance to overcome life’s toughest challenges.
Education, mentorship, and community support are at the heart of what we do—because with the right support, all children can thrive.
