How your gift helps

TEAR's Dhumba program:

  • Supports Christian organisations training Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in community development
  • Provides seed funding for small community initiatives
  • Provides ways of bringing Indigenous and non-Indigenous people together.

For $25, you can make a donation to the Dhumba program. You'll receive a beautiful card by the Indigenous artist Safina Stewart.
