Introduction

The Men's Development Networks mission statement is

"Better lives for Men, Better lives for All"

This is based on our belief that supporting change in men has an impact on their relationships, family, community and society.

We work in alliance with women's organisations and recognise their contribution to making a better world for all. It is our wish to continue and support this work, particularly with men.

The Men's Development Network's office is in Waterford City. The remit presently covers a local, regional and national spread. There have also been international contacts made.

It has developed with the assistance of government funding. Central to the development has been the voluntary support of men throughout the SE region. This has seen the organisation grow from one full time staff member to a five person team.

Currently the work is centered on five main areas:

Men's Development
Domestic Violence
Health
Education
Dissemination

Other areas of work are growing from these.
