“The Rose Project is an exemplary response to a terrible situation, a reminder of the stern and beautiful truth we were once taught in the catechism: my neighbour is all mankind. It cries out for support.”

Seamus Heaney, Nobel Prize Winner

 “I deeply thank you for the support I and my family are getting especially the food since we don’t have a father and a mother. We are living with grand mum who is very old and cannot do piece work for me and my young sister. I hope to go to school one day and take care of my sister.”“...those who were sick and bedridden have bounced back to life”

Isaac Mander, Orphan

"The Rose Project is doing magnificent work. We look forward to partnering with The Rose Project and working with them.”

Bill Clinton, 63rd President of the United States, speaking at an event in honour of Rose Atieno, the 16 millionth person to die of AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa.

 “The invaluable work of The Rose Project shows what can be achieved through voluntary committent. Of the greatest importance is the signal that it sends to those living with AIDS that they have the support of many dedicated individuals and organisations in Ireland."

President of Ireland, Mary McAleese

“The Rose Project supports some of the poorest and most marginalised people on this continent. On a recent trip to a Rose Project-funded HIV and AIDS programme, I saw at first hand the need for hospice care. We in the West must not be complacent in the fight against the pandemic of HIV and AIDS and where it is too late for treatment, we must provide patients with the full continuim of care that affords them dignity in their final days. The Rose Project is manifestly succeeding in providing this care.”

Dr Denis Donohoe, Our Lady's Hospice, Dublin.
