World Families Australia
World Families Australia is a registered charity. The aim of World Families Australia is to provide vulnerable children, families and communities in need with food, shelter, clean-water, sanitation, education, health care and employment opportunities. World Families Australia projects are facilitated through the support of Australian based volunteer Project Officer who provides on-going support and communication with the overseas project and donors.
To meet this aim, World Families Australia funds a range of relief and community development projects in a number of countries in Asia and Africa and some Project Officers self-fund overseas visits to their projects to monitor progress.
The role of the volunteer project officers, as well as volunteers managing the office, creating the newsletter, maintaining the website, and providing oversight to the organisation, ensures the maximum amount of donor support reaches the intended recipients.
One-off donations, quarterly donations, and annual gifts are sent to overseas project partners in the host country, who are responsible for distributing the funds and managing and reporting on the projects.
