About

Project Children is a charity founded in 1975 by Denis and Pat Mulcahy, aimed at fostering peace in Northern Ireland by bringing Irish children to live with host families in the U.S. for summer respite from violence. Over the years, it has positively impacted the lives of over 23,000 children from both Catholic and Protestant communities.To mark the 50th anniversary milestone for Project Children, and to ensure its message of peace through the eyes of children spreads for generations, Project Children has forged a cultural partnership with Monaghan County Council and the Peace Campus in Monaghan town, dedicated to cross community and cross border peace initiatives across the island of Ireland.This partnership will see the protection, preservation and perpetuation of the charity's 50 year legacy at the Monaghan Peace Campus. This state of the art building will showcase the archives of this iconic organization, that offered 23,000 children a summer reprieve in America from the Troubles in Northern Ireland.
