What We Do
Australia
Despite our country’s many advantages and continued high rankings in Human Development Reports, many Indigenous and refugee communities continue to face significant disadvantages, especially in health, education, housing and employment.
Both in our cities and in remote areas, these communities face challenges every day that the rest of Australia would find difficult.
Our refugee and Indigenous projects are spread across Australia and focus on education as a means of empowering our newest and oldest members of society.
