Lent
This year, Trócaire's Lenten campaign is about people who have been forced from home by war. 26 million people have had to abandon their homes because of conflict to seek safety elsewhere within their country.

Somalia matters: Act Now
More than one million people have fled violence to live in other parts of Somalia. These one million people have been forgotten. World leaders must stop ignoring this crisis.
