Gorta (English: "Extreme Want" or "Hunger") was one of Ireland's longest-running international development organisations. It was established in 1965, as 'Gorta: The Freedom from Hunger Council', in response to a call by the Food and Agriculture Organization’s (FAO) Freedom from Hunger Campaign (FFHC) for member countries to raise public awareness and financial support for long-term agricultural development.[1] Following a merger with Self Help Africa in July 2014, the organisation operated in Ireland until May 2018 as Gorta-Self Help Africa. Thereafter the organisation has operated as Self Help Africa.
"Gorta UK" is an affiliate of Gorta and raises funds from public donors within the UK.
