The Social and Health Education Project  (SHEP)  is an unique, not-for-profit, community-based,  training and development organisation established in 1974.

SHEP's Mission:

SHEP is a values led organisation that works together with individuals and communities to develop capacities for positive change, to enhance health and well-being and to promote social justice. We do this through a range of integrated personal, community, environmental and international development initiatives.

SHEP's primary work area is in Counties Cork, Kerry  and Limerick in the south-west of Ireland.  The project also supports the work of our international partner, Sahakarmi Samaj, which operates in southwest Nepal. 

SHEP is a registered charity (CHY9974) and a not-for-profit company which is limited by guarantee (no. 167824).  Our registered office is at Village Chambers, Station Road, Ballincollig, Co. Cork, Ireland.
