UnitingWorld EOFY Appeal

Life, Abundantly

UnitingWorld’s End of Financial Year Appeal. 

In Sumba, eastern Indonesia, families like Semis's forage in the forest when the harvest runs short. They work hard for their food security, yet subsistence farming families are among the most exposed people in the world to global economic and environmental shocks, paying the highest price for a crisis they did nothing to cause.
This is not the life God intends for anyone.

Through Uniting Church partners in Sumba and across the Pacific, Asia and Africa, communities are building food security and lasting livelihoods, led from within. Together we can help end the cycle of poverty and hunger in the world’s poorest places. 

Until 30 June, every gift is combined with funding from the Australian Government to have up to six times the impact. Find out more and donate today.
