Education, Youth & Sports 

Health: Medical Missions

AIPA Ireland believes that children around the globe, no matter where from, have rights; to education, to health, to nutritive diet, to water, to care; and all other rights associated to humans. Children who have access to their rights grow as independent individuals who can break through the cycle of poverty, be empowered to take their future into their own hands and play an active part in shaping it.
  
AIPA Ireland is working with other organisations and hundreds of donors to give bright and motived but financially chalked children in Anambra State access to education. Young students who need our support to stay in the education system and get full access to their potentials; potentials needed to build their family, community and Nation.
  

AIPA Ireland Medical personnel have a mission to reach a significant population of indigent Nigerians, particularly of Anambra origin, needing medical help, especially in the rural communities. And in partnership with other Anambra medical professionals Worldwide, conducts annual medical missions in Anambra State. The objectives also include health education awareness, attracting investors to the sector.

The medical missions feature medical, ear and dental consultations and treatment, Eye checks, Hypertension, Diabetic and HIV screening as well as blood donations and informative sessions.
  

​Women & Girl Child

Investment Summits

Everyday our Women and Young ones are made to face the monsters our society have created which have persistently subjected them to a life of sorrow, anguish, nonfulfillment and nothingness - gender discrimination and bias, unemployment, homelessness, poverty, drug abuse and addiction, teenage marriage and pregnancies, rape, sexual harassment and exploitation, cultism, peer pressure etc. 

AIPA Ireland believes in the power of advocacy. And in partnership with other international groups, AIPA seeks and addresses women and young girl’s educational, developmental, social and emotional needs through strengths-based programming and sponsorships employing these three developmental blocs:
 - Women Advocacy and Empowerment; Youth Empowerment & Leadership Programmes; The Educational Initiatives and Recreational Programmes. 
  

Every year, AIPA Ireland organises an economic summit; a networking platform for Irish investors to meet with the government of Anambra State to get first-hand information on the numerous investment opportunities in the State and the favourable policies the government is putting in place as an encouragement.
​
Anambra State Investment  Promotion and Protection Agency (ANSIPPA), an active participant in AIPA Ireland Economic Summits, was established for the protection, promotion, monitoring , coordination and assistance of current investors in, and potential investors to Anambra State.
