Direct Provision started in 1999 as a means for housing asylum seekers In Ireland. Designed as a temporary base for six months this accommodation system holds families in isolated areas with little or no access to basic services for years. Parents have reported spending a minimum of three years in deplorable conditions; with whole families in one room, including children, and individuals sleeping on mattresses. This causes long-term damage to health, educationally disadvantages children and adults, and isolates asylum seekers from the Irish community. This is compounding the damage already experienced by asylum seekers who have fled dangerous conditions such as war, genocide or persecution.
By buying a backpack from us you give a child in DP a chance to start school this term with a smart new school essential. If you are in Ireland and can help with stationery and school clothes there are collection points in Dublin, Limerick, Ennis and Galway city See https://www.everychildireland.org/
Thank you @theblindboypodcast for bringing this cause to our attention.
