The County Mayo Foundation, based in New York, has partnered this Christmas with Safe Home Ireland, to raise awareness among the Irish diaspora, and to raise funds for the Mulranny-based organisation.

Safe Home Ireland is a not-for-profit organisation, which assists Irish emigrants across the globe who wish to return to Ireland.

Since its foundation 18 years ago, Safe Home Ireland has helped over 2,000 people to return home to live in Ireland.

The County Mayo Foundation connects Mayo emigrants across the world with community development initiatives back in Mayo, and Safe Home Ireland hopes the new partnership with the County Mayo Foundation will enhance their profile in the United States.
