Two Tipperary senior hurlers head to Kenya this week in aid of Self Help Africa

Two Tipperary senior hurlers from recent seasons head to Kenya this week as part of the Warriors for Humanity campaign in aid of Self-Help Africa. 

Nenagh Éire Óg players Conor McCarthy and Barry Heffernan are joining forces with other GAA players from around Ireland, each participant has raised €10,000 intending to plant one million trees in Africa.

This initiative, in partnership with Self Help Africa, represents a livelihood for an African family for every tree planted.

In support of this great cause, Nenagh Éire Óg Club Treasurer, Jim Nagle, made a contribution to Conor and Barry from their community lotto funds to help them reach their target.

The Nenagh Éire Óg Community Friendly Lotto, which began in June 2020, has donated over €7,500 to local and other worthy charities to date.
