With shared compassion and hope, working together towards a just world for all.

Through partnerships with local organisations and Church networks, and as a member of Caritas Internationalis, one of the largest humanitarian networks in the world, we are able to reach where the need is greatest. Together with your support, we work with the most marginalised and remote communities in Australia and overseas to address the immediate challenges of poverty today and create lasting change for a just tomorrow.

How your support can change lives

CLEAN WATER

Around the world, over 2.2 billion people do not have access to safe drinking water. Help vulnerable communities to improve access to clean, safe water for drinking, washing, cooking and irrigation.

EMERGENCY RELIEF

During emergencies, we work with our local partner organisations to reach some of the world’s most remote communities with emergency aid when they need it the most.

FOOD SECURITY

An estimated 690 million people go hungry every day. We work with communities to help to ensure that they are prepared by having reliable and sustainable sources of food all year round.

EDUCATION

Children without an education lack the confidence and skills they need for a secure future. Through your support, children can go to school and break the cycle of poverty.
