Projects
The aim of World Families Australia is to provide communities in need with food, shelter, education and medical care.
To meet this aim World Families Australia funds a range of relief and community development projects in a number of counties in Asia and Africa.
One off donations, quarterly donations or an annual gift is forwarded to a project coordinator who knows the child (and its family).
Where a child is in an institution the whole community may benefit along with the particular child whom you support.
Donations are managed by the local administration within the host country. No funds are provided directly to a child.
Depending upon the project, donors may receive a communication from a child or an organisation (through WFA) from time to time. This may be in the form of a greeting card, a school report, a photo or information about the project. Such communication cannot be guaranteed because a lack of resources or language difficulties may make it impossible.
World Families have Project Officers to assist you in any matter relating to your donation or the project you may be involved with.
Gifts
Donations may be of any amount, however many donors provide regular donations towards nominated projects. Donors in this capacity provide regular quarterly donations ($70) or currently $280.00 per annum. From this amount approximately 16% is required for administration purposes such as costs of money transfers, the employment of a finance officer, office running costs etc.
Gifts of any size, to any named project are welcomed and particularly at times of significance/upheaval in the lives of the community, earthquakes, tsunamis. or even when there are community celebrations such as a child’s birthday.
As these monetary gifts can be sent along with the usual quarterly transfer of money to projects, the transfer costs expenses is negligible.
World Families Australia is currently a registered charity with tax deductibility status in South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland.
