The Saba Way-1

The Saba group first announced their Official Partnership with the Irish Women’s Hockey Team in 2019, and partnership was renewed in 2021 and 2023. Saba will be the only food partner for the ladies’ team and will fuel the team’s training sessions and games.

Saba has fuelled the girls in green as they prepared for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, and will continue to do so as they prepare for the 2024 Olympics in France. The Saba team has worked closely with the team nutritionist and management to provide meals and nutrition for the players. Saba has tailored meals to meet the team’s dietary requirements and has travelled the country to ensure the team had healthy, nutritious food even when training away.

The partnership with the Women’s Hockey Ireland team is something the team at Saba is extremely proud of, as not only do we get to work with highly inspirational and dedicated women in sport, but we also get to highlight the importance of nutrition and highlight how Saba is not only tasty but also healthy and nutritious.

To help SABA and SABA TO GO give back to the planet, we’ve teamed up with Friends of the Earth, the world’s largest network of environmental groups.
Bringing you bona fide Thai and Vietnamese ingredients can rack up some air miles, so for every green curry sold, we make a donation to Friends of the Earth in support of its terrific work for environmental justice and sustainability.

Anam Cara does incredible work supporting parents and families after bereavement. We’ve been privileged to help them with their fundraisers. Saba has hosted Anam Cara’s Dublin Charity lunch for the past five years. It is our most popular fundraising event each year.

“Working with Paul and the management team in planning this event, they really do everything to make sure it will be a success and that is why Anam Cara goes back each year, we know this event will continue to be the number one charity lunch in Dublin.” Sharon Vard, Chief Executive www.anamcara.ie

The Saba Cookbook is a tremendous collection of authentic Thai and Vietnamese recipes. It is the winner of a Gourmand Award, the highest honour the cookbook world has to give. But most important of all, proceeds from this book go to the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit in Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin.

“It was with great pride that the team at SABA used the story of its business to produce a cookbook, so beautiful and so authentic, that it would benefit the children at the hospital now and long into the future. The proceeds from SABA: The Cookbook, contributed to the opening of the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit at the hospital, a world-class facility to many hundreds of children across the country annually.”- Johann Fox, Crumlin Children’s Hospital

Driven by her own traumatic and poverty stricken early years in Ireland, Christina Noble set up the foundation to help alleviate child poverty in Vietnam and Mongolia and give all children the right to a happy and safe childhood.

“The Christina Noble Children’s Foundation has held its annual fundraising dinner in SABA restaurant from 2012 to 2014. They have been fantastic events, raising thousands of euros for our work with very disadvantaged children in Vietnam and Mongolia. SABA has been a great partner.”

Thanks to the huge success of SABA:The Cookbook, we were able to donate €3,500 of proceeds to the Thai Red Cross in 2013. This society is a major humanitarian organisation in Thailand, providing services as part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. Tao was delighted to visit their headquarters in Bangkok, to give them the cheque from the proceeds of SABA’s cookbook.
