Afri-Aus Care

Who are we?
To address the disadvantage and disengagement of our youth we need to provide them with purpose and meaningful outcomes. It’s amazing to receive a grant like this from the Paul Ramsay Foundation, it enables our organisation to provide support to community members with the highest needs. We look forward to continuing to provide support to South Sudanese youth who are in contact with the justice system at the corrections facilities, at the courts, and in the community.
