Mary MacKillop International (MMI) is the aid and development organisation of the Sisters of St Joseph.
In the spirit of Mary MacKillop, they work in partnership with local communities in Australia, throughout Timor-Leste, Peru and Papua New Guinea in the areas of education, health, and livelihoods.
Their program aspirations are that all members of the community can read and write, enjoy good health and have sustainable livelihoods. By partnering with local communities MMI brings dignity to thousands of children, women, and families.
With this in mind, we can be assured that our donation will help those less fortunate in our world.
