  • support of Caritas Australia, the school now has a sustainable water supply, ensuring that students can learn and thrive without the burden of water shortages.  
  • Lam from Vietnam: Born with a disability, Lam encountered societal stigma and limited opportunities. With assistance from Caritas Australia, he accessed education and vocational training, empowering him to overcome barriers and inspire his community. 
  • Irene from the Democratic Republic of the Congo: Facing instability and poverty, Irene struggled to provide for her family. Through Caritas Australia's partnership, she gained skills in sewing and farming, enabling her to earn a steady income and mentor other women, fostering a ripple effect of empowerment in her community.  

These powerful stories remind us that through partnership, we can be vessels of Christ's love, bringing hope and tangible change to vulnerable people and communities in need. 

As a faith community, we are called to stand together in partnership, love and generosity. Through your participation in Project Compassion – whether through prayer, fasting, almsgiving and/or fundraising – you become a partner in change, walking alongside our brothers and sisters around the world. 

Together, we can transform lives and bring the Gospel’s message of love and justice to life as we Unite Against Poverty this Lent.
