Welcome

The Archbishop of Sydney's Appeals Unit raises money to assist those in need within the Sydney Diocese and in the developing world. There are three funds within the Appeals Unit: the Community Care and Development Program, Overseas Relief and Aid Fund, and the Overseas Ministry Fund. Christians are called to serve Christ in love. Through the Appeals Unit you can reach out to your neighbours in need, both locally and overseas.

Dr Peter Jensen, Archbishop of Sydney and Metropolitan NSW

 

The Pakistan Flood Disaster

Millions of people have been affected by Pakistan’s worst flooding in decades, with the crisis deepening as torrential rains continue to fall across the country.

As many as 14 million people have been affected by the floods with at least 1600 deaths.  Entire villages have been washed away and millions of hectares of crops have been destroyed. The threat of water-borne diseases is high.                     

The Archbishop of Sydney’s Appeals Unit is deeply concerned about the plight of the Pakistani people. As we do not have established partners in the region we are not running an appeal. 
 
Our recommendation to those who would like make a donation is to look on the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID) website for a list of organisations that have established appeals.

We encourage you to pray fervently for the people of Pakistan amidst this devastating disaster.
