Each year, Project Compassion invites people from all across Australia to put their compassion in action, and raise money to help fight poverty and to promote justice.
The theme for Project Compassion is ‘For All Future Generations’, a great reminder that the good that we do today will have a ripple effect for generations to come.
Project Compassion 2024 brings you stories of three remarkable women from the Philippines, Malawi and Samoa. Each of these stories demonstrates the powerful impact that your generous support can have For All Future Generations. Together, we can create lasting change for people living in some of the most vulnerable communities in the world.
After the birth of her children, 22-year-old Ronita was at risk of having to leave school permanently. But with the support of Caritas Australia’s partners in the Philippines, she resumed her studies and secured a job to support her family.
As the eldest child in a low-income farming family, Memory faced many barriers to her education. But with the support of Caritas Australia and our partner CADECOM, she enrolled in a technical school and became the first female carpenter in her village.
Not having access to a reliable source of clean water was very difficult for Leaia and her family. But with the support of Caritas Australia, a water tank was installed at their home, improving their health and living conditions.
