Anglican Overseas Aid is a member of the Micah coalition, a movement of Australian individuals, community groups, and organisations calling on our leaders to act now to build a safer world for all.
We believe all people deserve peace, opportunity and security.
Two decades of progress fighting infectious diseases, empowering women and girls and building education and economic prosperity stalled when the Pandemic hit.
Now, threats to our world are intensifying – dangerous weather, increased wars and soaring inequality.
If we do nothing, today’s challenges will become tomorrow’s catastrophes.
Decisions made by this generation can put the world back on track.
This is best for the world and best for Australia. But it won’t happen on its own.
It is true that the world is facing converging crises. It can leave us feeling powerless.
But let’s not forget the incredible progress the world has made to-date in tackling extreme poverty, gender equality and child mortality. And that there is power in everyday Australians unifying their voices to inspire our leaders to take bold action.
The goal of the Safer World For All campaign is to provide a platform for Australians to collectively raise their voices and inspire our nation’s leaders to take action.
Australia has always been known for its generosity but the Australian aid budget tells a different story. We're calling on all Australians to help increase our aid budget from just 0.68% to 1% of the federal budget. It's time for Down Under to step up and create a safer world for all.
REPORT: ALLOCATING 1% OF THE FEDERAL BUDGET TO AID
A modest yet impactful target that aligns with Australia’s moral duty, strategic interests, and public support
