Wahroonga, New South Wales — The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) Australia has launched a new website at www.adra.org.au that provides supporters with easy access to new resources, activities and giving opportunities.

“ADRA’s new website offers opportunities for our supporters to keep informed, be involved and change a life with every visit,” said ADRA Australia’s Marketing and Public Relations Director, Michelle Oetman.
“It provides the latest news updates from our projects or disaster response, activities for people of all ages and free resources especially for schools and churches. Visitors will also have the opportunity to donate to a specific project need and read success stories to learn how their donations are making a difference.”

ADRA Australia’s user-friendly website now also has The ADRA Shop where ADRA t-shirts, mugs, pens and more can be purchased. In addition, the website lists events to join such as Anti-Poverty Week activities, volunteering for the ADRA Appeal and other one-off events such as those in support of the Make Poverty History campaign.

Through the website, ADRA supporters can choose from a variety of new giving schemes such as direct debit donations, workplace giving and bequests. The website also provides instant confirmation of online donations.

“ADRA’s new website also allows supporters to stay informed by listening to ADRA’s World Radio weekly broadcasts featuring interviews with ADRA’s staff around the world. Visitors can also read clippings of media articles that feature ADRA and sign up for free email updates to receive ADRA’s latest news,” said Ms. Oetman.
