Your support can help end the causes and effects of poverty around the world.

Here are some ways you can put your donation to work.

Need of the Month

Indonesia: HIV and AIDS Prevention Program

Imagine being avoided, rejected, denied access to employment and other opportunities, and constantly feeling like you have a neon sign above your head stating "HIV Positive". For people living with HIV in West Papua, Indonesia, this is how every day feels. The lack of general health information and understanding of the spread and prevention of HIV causes people to respond in fear; ostracising those that carry the disease. ADRA is helping to address this issue by disseminating health information related to HIV through health workers, monthly radio programs and by establishing Voluntary Counseling and Testing Centers. Your support today can help people of West Papua access vital health information and help to fight discrimination associated with HIV and AIDS.

Mongolia: Sustaining the Seasons

Imagine feeling cold, hungry and powerless to change your circumstance. In Mongolia, many people feel just that. With winter frosts lasting nine months, Mongolians only have 90 days to grow sufficient crops to last the whole year. Oftentimes experiencing hunger when supplies run out before new food can be grown and harvested. ADRA is teaching Mongolian families, skills that will help them develop and operate all-weather green-house facilities which will give an all-year access to nutritious food and create income generation opportunities. You can support this project and help imporove the health and well-being of Mongolian families.

Fiji: Empowering Youth in Fiji

Often when we think og Fiji we think of the tranquil tourist location and the beautiful beaches. Yet in this land of paradise, 44% of the population live in poverty, a factor recognised as key to young people leaving school early. With low level of education and low employment opportunities young people undertake illegal activities and at-risk behaviour. ADRA is addressing this socio-economic issue by helping youth make informed and healthy life choices through mentoring, activities and by providing information about health issues. So don't wait for another Fijian youth to drop out of school before you take action. Support ADRA's AusAID partnership program to give Fiji youth a brighter future. Give now!

Nepal:  Literacy & Gender Awareness Training for Women

Imagine
going to a shop not knowing how to read. How would you choose your products? How would you know their price? This is a reality for many women in Nepal. Lack of skills in literacy and numeracy as well as lack of economic empowerment makes them vulnerable to the effects of poverty and gender discrimination. You can change this!

Vietnam: Confidential Hotline and Internet Counselling (CHIC) Service

Imagine living in constant fear and anxiety because you think you are dying? For many young people in the northern regions of Vietnam this is their reality, as the lack of information on issues such as adolescent development, reproductive health, relationships and substance abuse, causes them to fear the worst. ADRA’s Confidential Hotline and Internet Counseling Service provides a peace of mind to young people as it provides easy access to a reliable source of information by utilising a confidential hotline, internet counselling and regional health workers to provide greater access to information for adolescents. Your support today can give young people access to information and peace of mind.

Solomon Islands: Boarding School Food Security Project

Rural families in the Solomon Islands are often forced to send their children away to boarding schools to obtain an education as schooling opportunities are not readily available locally. In many instances these boarding schools, however struggle to cater for the nutritional needs of the children and must send them back to their villages. This issue contributes to the low levels of educational attainment among rural communities. In response, ADRA has commenced a food security project which will facilitate workshops for the agriculture and catering staff and will provide training and education to help teachers cater to the nutritional needs of their students.

Australia: Women's Refuges

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 23% of women who had ever been married or in a de-facto relationship, experienced violence by a partner at some time during the relationship. ADRA-supported refuges have housed thousands of women and children in their safe accommodation facilities. With your help we can continue to provide refuge for women and children in these circumstances.
