Mary Ward International Australia partners with people like you who share our desire to help eliminate poverty and its causes.
We take your investment in our work seriously and are committed to using your donation to reach people in need in the most effective and cost-efficient manner.
By giving $5,000 or more in a year, major donors significantly invest in helping MWIA fulfill its mission. This incredible support has been utilised with wisdom and integrity to empower the work of our Loreto Sisters as they seek to restore hope and create new opportunities for those who are currently trapped in a generational cycle of poverty.
On behalf of MWIA, our Loreto Sisters and most importantly, the people we assist, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to you for your belief in our development work and your ongoing support in making it a reality.
