| Welcome to Partners In Aid | ||
We work in assisting disadvantaged communities mainly in the Indian subcontinent to have a better life, through community development, education, skills training and enhancing the status of women. Partners In Aid is one of the longest serving aid agencies in Australia. Established in 1962, we work with local Non-Government Organisations (NGO's) in Bangladesh andIndia to promote and assist with community development projects. Projects include education, micro-credit, health and vocational and skill training programs in Bangladesh and school programs, child sponsorship, women's self-help groups and watershed management in India. In the Philippines, Partners in Aid supports the Sinangpad Healthy Village Project in Kalinga Province (northern Philippines). |

Partners in Aid has changed its name from Action Aid Australia in order that Austcare could use this name following their recent affiliation with ActionAid International. This affiliation was to enable them to become the Australian arm of ActionAid International’s global fight against poverty.
