About
GOAL has responded to almost all of the world’s major humanitarian crises, working with vulnerable communities in more than 60 countries. While GOAL continues to be an agile first-responder to humanitarian crises, it is also committed to working with vulnerable communities to help them survive crises and support them on the road to recovery.
GOAL’s purpose is to save lives and empower communities to develop resilience and greater control over their lives and livelihoods. GOAL aims to increase the resilient wellbeing of the world’s poorest people and focuses on those who are excluded or marginalised, particularly those who are vulnerable due to socio-economic status, gender or age.

Community Involvement
The GOAL Mile is one of the most popular and longstanding fundraisers in Ireland.
The first GOAL Mile took place in 1982 when GOAL's late chairperson and international athlete, Noel Carroll, asked local people and their families to run a mile at The Phoenix Park on Christmas morning for GOAL.
This year more than 200 GOAL Mile events will take place around the country, and thousands more participants will take part virtually around the world.
