How will your workplace Unite Against Poverty this Lent?
Every year during Lent workplaces of all kinds across Australia unite with Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion to support vulnerable communities.
Together, we show that when faith and action come together, we can transform lives and create lasting change.
Your organisation plays a vital role in delivering essential services like clean water, education, and healthcare, while building positive brand association with social responsibility and sustainable development.
Register for an event this Lent

Meet Sisilia
Sisilia is a 13-year-old girl living in remote Tanzania, who had to walk long distances to collect water every day. Thanks to Project Compassion, Sisilia’s school and village now have safe clean water close by and she can spend more time studying so she can fulfil her dreams of one day becoming a pilot.
Meet Monoranjon
Monoranjon lives in a coastal village in Bangladesh, where floods and storms often damage his crops and his home. With support from Project Compassion, he learnt climate-resilient farming techniques and new ways to diversify his income, helping his family survive and build a safer, more sustainable future.

Life was hard for Manaini and her children living in rural Fiji. With the support from Caritas Australia’s partner, FRIEND, she learnt food processing and gardening skills, improving nutrition and creating new income opportunities to support her children’s education.
Meet Ahmad
Ahmad, a Caritas Jerusalem staff member in Gaza, has endured repeated displacement since October 2023. Despite the daily devastation he encounters, Ahmad continues to serve families through Caritas’ emergency response.
