Our Mission / Objective
We are the international development organisation of the Australian Jesuit Province - empowering our most vulnerable brothers and sisters across more than ten countries to live full and free lives.
Our Vision
Our Mission
In the name of Jesus and in the spirit of Ignatius, we are called to generous service of others.
We have a compassionate love for the poor - upholding the innate dignity and promoting the rights of God’s most vulnerable people from all faiths and cultures.
We partner with Jesuits and other companions overseas to empower women, men and children living on the frontiers. We provide programs to build their skills, capacity and resilience so that they may liberate themselves from poverty and injustice.
We invite Australian companions into communion with our global human family. Our shared faith and love of Jesus compels us into authentic relationships and the spirit of Ignatius guides us to be men and women for others.
Our Services
To create the greatest change, we go to the most marginalised communities across more than ten countries in Asia and Africa. This includes Timor-Leste, Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand, China and India. In each community we partner with local Jesuits and other companions to provide a range of support and training that empowers women, men and children to build new lives for themselves - free from poverty and injustice.
Our Beneficiaries
Your support of Jesuit Mission will:
- Break cycles of poverty through teaching and education
- Protect the health of communities by providing medical care and programs that improve access to clean water and toilets
- Develop independent, strong communities through livelihood training and income-generating projects
- Provide vulnerable individuals with pastoral care, social inclusion and advocacy
- Support asylum seekers, refugees and displaced people in crisis
- Enable effective disaster response and relief
Projects in Progress
Over 30 projects focused on education and training for over 12,000 vulnerable people in India, Timor Leste, Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand, Angola, Zimbabwe, and Malawi. An additional 20,000 students benefited from attending Jesuit educational institutes in Hazaribag, India. In Asia and Africa over 8,000 refugees and internal displaced people received support. In Thailand and Timor Leste, over 7,500 people received professional medical care. In Cambodia over 900 people living with a disability received support in areas including education, housing, and the provision of wheelchairs.
