Tearfund provides support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who are working to achieve their potential and gain greater control over their own affairs.
You can support Tearfund’s work towards a more just and equitable society for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
We are committed to supporting programs that come from our long term relationships in Indigenous communities. Among these are:
Moorditj Keila is an Aboriginal Community Organisation based in the City Of South Perth. They work to strengthen and support their community through a range of projects. Tearfund is partnering with them on a new initiative to help young people gain their driver’s licenses.
A grass roots movement of First Nations women who are passionate about breaking the cycle of violence caused by domestic and family violence and sexual abuse.
Tearfund is partnering with Nungalinya College in the Northern Territory, as they deliver an accredited culturally informed Certificate II course that addresses violence prevention, building family wellbeing, and healing from trauma, grief and loss. Many of the participants are couples who already have leadership roles in their community and this training will help them deepen their ministry.
