The Winter Warmer: Homelessness Relief Campaign
As temperatures dropped and harsh weather conditions set in, Dharma Care recognised the challenges faced by individuals and families who struggle to stay warm and healthy. Dharma Care raised $56,944 to support people sleeping rough across Tweed, NSW.
Working with our local partners, You Have A Friend, Pottsville Beach Neighbourhood Centre, Fred’s Place – Vinnies, and Murwillumbah Community Centre, to ensure the resources go to where they are most needed across the Tweed region.
The funds raised have already made a significant impact, providing warmth and support to those experiencing homelessness in the region. The resources have been used to distribute new blankets, sleeping bags, tents, clothing, as well as food and petrol vouchers. This comprehensive approach aims not only to address immediate needs but also offers help in the form of essentials for daily life.

PIO – Schools for Girls: Overcoming Adversity Through Education
The Srey Lak Program for Girls project in Cambodia has provided accommodation, education, food, and board for girls who started life on a rubbish dump or on the streets. Many of these resilient young women have not only completed their school education, but have gone on to be supported by the program to pursue degree level studies at university, breaking the cycle of poverty for generations to come.
You can still support this project and help more girls break out of the poverty cycle.
