about us

Gorta was the first Third World development organisation to be set up in Ireland. It was established by the Department of Agriculture in 1965 as the permanent body to evolve from the Irish Freedom from Hunger Campaign - part of an international campaign initiated by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations.
