About UnitingWorld – an agency of the National Assembly of the Uniting Church in Australia

The Uniting Church in Australia is known for its commitment to justice and the inclusion of people at the margins of society. These values guide UnitingWorld’s work with communities in Africa, Asia and the Pacific. UnitingWorld’s partnership with the development arm of one of India’s major Christian Churches enables us to engage communities with respect and authenticity. In Amritsar, North India, our ‘Right to Learn’ program is transforming the community. The latest poverty statistics indicate that half of India’s population, largely those who are known as ‘untouchables’ live below the poverty line. Access to education helps break this cycle of poverty. Our project focuses particularly on women and girls, who are central to the wellbeing of their communities.
