MWIA is committed to supporting Indigenous Australians, giving hope and empowerment.

MWIA has been supporting our Loreto Sisters and their projects in India since inception. We work hard to continue our commitment to India in an attempt to foster sustainable change amongst so many people who need our help.

In Kenya, our Loreto Sisters work with the Stop Female Genital Mutilation Campaign to educate women, men and community leaders about the dangers of this harmful cultural practice. We also provide quality tertiary education to two orphans from the Nyumbani Village.

In Peru, the Loreto Sisters have worked and lived in Jicamarca, Peru for over 15 years. In partnership with the Jesuits and the local community, the Sisters established a primary and secondary school. Tailoring workshops have now also been established, encouraging women to gain employment and start their own business.

The Loreto Mission in Rumbek, South Sudan has assisted the Maker Keui community through the provision of education, health and employment. This project will improve the health and wellbeing of people living in Maker Kuei by ensuring healthcare is more accessible to those who live at vast distances from the main town of Rumbek.

Sitting on Australia’s doorstep is Timor-Leste, one of the least developed countries in the world. Join MWIA in raising much needed funds to support communities in the remote villages of the Baucau district.

MWIA currently supports the work of the Loreto Sisters in Vietnam by providing educational scholarships to ensure students have the resources and support to complete tertiary education. MWIA is proud to help women access a university education and create a brighter future for themselves and their families.

MWIA provides funds to the Baby Milk Project in Zambia where it is estimated there are more than one million orphans whose mothers have died in childbirth or from HIV/AIDS. We also work to improve the lives of local students by providing them with scholarships in the district of Lukulu.
