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
Sign your workplace up for our 40-day walking challenge, symbolic of the journey many take daily to access clean drinking water.
Help bring clean, safe water to people around the world.
Unite your team to strengthen team spirit for a shared purpose. Run a coffee morning, afternoon tea, Lunch & Learn, or bespoke event.
Help vulnerable communities build a future free from poverty.
Faces of Project Compassion 2027!
Meet Patricia
14-year-old Patricia lives in a remote village on the island of Malaita in Solomon Islands. She once spent hours collecting water, making school difficult. With easier access to clean water, her life has improved, and she hopes to return to school and become a teacher.
Meet Reaksmey
Reaksmey, 23, from Kampot, Cambodia, grew up deaf and isolated from society because of his hearing disability. Through Epic Arts, he learnt sign language for the first time, formed new friendships and now works at their café earning a steady income.
Meet Yeshareg
Yeshareg, a mother of two in south-western Ethiopia, struggled with hunger and poverty. Through Caritas Ethiopia's CLEAR project, she learned potato farming, joined a women's savings group and raised sheep, enabling her family to eat three meals a day.
Meet Caritas Venezuela
Following the devastating Venezuela earthquake, Caritas delivered food, water, hygiene supplies and medicine to families in need, with volunteers working around the clock to provide critical humanitarian assistance to those facing displacement, loss and uncertainty.
