WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE TRADITIONAL OWNERS OF THE LAND ON WHICH WE MEET.
We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, and the Aboriginal Elders of other communities who may be there.
Every woman and girl everywhere deserve to live free from violence and discrimination.
There is one universal truth, applicable to all countries, culture and communities: violence against women is never acceptable, never excusable, never tolerable.
Addressing entrenched discrimination against women in the workforce is not only the right thing to do – it has a massive economic benefit.
OUR PROMISE
We promise to give from each selling management commission back to the community in the form of sponsorship.
We understand we get work because of these community sponsorships. We accept requests from clients, community and co-workers.
OUR SPONSORSHIP GUIDELINES

- We expect some form of verifiable reporting on individual gains
- We wish to understand rather than be understood with regards to the support needed
SCOPE
- Education
- Health
- Employment
FOCUS
- Locally provided services
- Low Cost Life Changing – our measurement when deciding what to support
- Those who would not normally get support
2019/2020 HIGHLIGHTS
Two visits to Africa (we paid own way) by 3 staff to view how money was being spent at Selian Hospital – we get regular updates of all expenditure with receipts and videos.
Moving to African run community organisations has been challenging. We have different mindsets, recording requirements, cultural issues, communication problems and more.
Having said all that, this year has been the most rewarding move we have made in some time. 120 children have had surgeries performed in Selian hospital in Africa by African doctors and we congratulate the doctors and staff at this hospital.
Since 2003 we have supported the Melbourne Homeless family’s program with over $300,000. We are looking at alternatives as there is now government funding in this area.
We have basic agreements (Covid-19 interrupted) with Marshall White Foundation and Launch Housing to expand the Homeless support in a wider program.
