Our partners
Caritas Australia
Caritas Australia’s commitment to an Indigenous Program within Australia stems from the recognition that poverty and injustice can be found everywhere — it is not just a matter of dividing the world into ‘developed’ and ‘developing’ countries.
Caritas Australia supports sustainable development projects — developed and implemented by, or in close collaboration with, Indigenous Australians, focusing on financial management, education, skills development and income generation. The projects reflect an Indigenous view of the world as well as support Indigenous advocacy issues.
Ian Thorpe’s Fountain for Youth
Ian Thorpe believes that all children should be given the opportunity to live a healthy and fulfilling life. He understands his position and his ability to bring important issues to the forefront. Fountain for youth was established to focus on areas where he knows he can make an impact and he is passionate about projects that will improve health and education of children, having a positive impact on their lives.
Aboriginal people are absolutely committed to rebuilding their own communities and they need our assistance.
Fred Hollows Foundation
Celebrations and cultural events sustain the spirit of unity and culture that is vital for those living in isolated areas and provide reconciliation and learning opportunities for the wider community. The Foundation promotes these celebrations by providing support and training to the community leaders and event managers who organise them.
