MATES HELPING MATE
Make a world of difference
by raising the standard of living
Who we are
GlobalCare is the “social justice” and disaster relief arm of International Network of Churches (INC) (formerly Christian Outreach Centre). For some 22 years, GlobalCare has helped devastated communities to rebuild and reconnect, and has done it by practical help at the ground level. It can be as small as a wheelchair, or as large as tsunami...if the need exists, GlobalCare is there.
GlobalCare’s work simply is “mates helping mates – it’s the Aussie way”.
Funding
Global Care receives no government funding and is wholly dependent on the generosity of the community to fund its relief efforts.
Projects we have assisted
FLEXIBLE, ON-GOING RELIEF
GlobalCare (National) knows no borders.
We have provided disaster relief to the tsunami crises in Asia and the sub-Continent, along with earthquake victims in the Philippines. Its volunteers undertake on-going missionary support in East
Africa. More recently, GlobalCare provided a beacon of hope to the victims of Victoria's bushfires: the
worst natural disaster in Australia’s history.

About Us
In Our Backyard
Not all countries have an acceptable standard of living. All that is needed, in some instances, to improve the standard of living is to be given a hand up by someone who cares. Gladstone GlobalCare has found that it is the ordinary that makes an extraordinary difference to the Hayfield Primary School in PNG – Gladstone GlobalCare installs water tanks at the school to harvest the abundance of rain water in season, which will eventually result in water being available all year round for the school children and the teachers.
Since 2012 Gladstone GlobalCare has been installing potable water tanks at the Hayfield Primary School in the Maprik district in East Sepik Provence PNG. This is an exciting aid program not only for the people of the area but for us here in Australia as we invest our money to help those less fortunate. The villagers are well aware that education is the way out of poverty!
At times of low rain and the school runs out of water it has to be closed. Our goal is to prevent these closures. Gladstone GlobalCare raises all the funds required to purchase the materials in PNG. Citizens of Gladstone and others in the CQ Region have been extremely generous towards our projects.
Locally
Gladstone Global Care currently provides ongoing support for our local SES welfare team in times of threatening or actual disasters in the Gladstone area by coordinating the reception and accommodation of evacuees at SES nominated shelters.
