A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play on the GAA’s field of dreams with celebs and sports stars.
Alan and Africa
In just over a decade, Galway sports star Alan Kerins has raised close to €5 million to end poverty and suffering of tens of thousands of people in rural Southern Africa.
In 2015 Alan teamed up with Self Help Africa, and in partnership is supporting our programmes to end hunger and poverty in Africa.
Alan has been supported by the GAA at both national and at grassroots level, and also built-up a strong network of supporters across a range of differing sporting codes, including soccer, rugby, boxing and athletics. He has also been backed in his work by figures from the entertainment industry and from across Irish business. His innovative fundraising efforts across Ireland have attracted widespread support and raised millions of euro.

Alan’s work in Western Zambia
Over the past decade Alan has supported a wide range of projects in remote Western Zambia, including a treatment centre, school, block making business and guest house.
