About This Cause
An Cosán (meaning "The Path" in Irish) is Ireland’s leading provider of community-based education, with a strong focus on empowering women and families through a holistic, person-centred approach. Serving individuals in disadvantaged communities, An Cosán provides more than just access to learning—it creates an environment where people can grow in confidence, build meaningful skills, and transform their lives. A key element of An Cosán’s model is its commitment to wraparound supports, which address the wider social, emotional, and practical needs of each learner. These include personalised mentoring and guidance to help learners navigate their educational journey, as well as wellbeing supports like counselling and mindfulness to foster emotional resilience. Recognising the importance of digital inclusion, An Cosán also provides digital skills training to ensure learners can thrive in an increasingly connected world. For parents, particularly mothers, access to high-quality early years education and childcare enables them to participate fully in their own education while knowing their children are safe and supported. All of this is underpinned by a strong sense of community, where learners are encouraged to support one another and grow together. Through this holistic and inclusive model, An Cosán empowers individuals—especially women—to overcome barriers, realise their potential, and become leaders in their families and communities. Vital funding will ensure we reach those left further behind and allow us to continue the work we are doing towards creating a #OneGenerationSolution
