Your Impact In 2025

We believe that God calls us to love our global neighbours and is at work in the world. As a Christian organisation, our faith motivates us. And we believe he has called us to end poverty so that all people may enjoy fullness of life as he intends.

From Our CEO & Board Chair

During what has been a difficult year for many Australians battling rising costs of their own, they gave $11.7M so that our local Christian Partners can continue their incredible work across 57 projects in 18 countries. Together, individuals, families, churches, corporates, trusts and foundations have helped 816,591 people take decisive steps towards a life beyond poverty.

We are continually impressed with the courage and ingenuity of our participants as they transform their lives and communities. We also recognise the other extraordinary people who make this possible— our 33 local Christian Partners, our Board members, staff, volunteers, and our generous and prayerful supporters and church partners. With collective passion, commitment and hard work, we remember that we’re much stronger together, united in our shared mission, walking humbly with God.

-Melissa Lipsett, CEO, and Tara Reid, Chair of the Board
