Mission
We empower local communities to access resources, and have control over the decisions that determine their basic needs and human rights. We do this by providing financial and technical support to local ‘not for profit’ and community-based organisations, with a particular focus on local capacity building.

Overview
We are an independent Australian community development organisation providing effective and innovative assistance to improve the lives of people in marginalised communities in Australia and around the world.

We work in the areas of health, education, and human rights.

March 2012: India Travels

‘Trip going well. The Madurai hosts were extraordinary and were very impressed  how much Mahalir Sakthi does with very little funding and the dedication, professionalism and indefatigable energy and warmth of the their team of volunteers.  There were many similarities with indigo foundation as an organization. We are looking forward to a  long and rewarding relationship with them’

From Deb Raphael, management commitee member travelling with Libby House,  development coordinator to visit our new project partner Mahalir Sakthi in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India.  Great news!

Mahalir Sakthi is a community-based organisation working towards empowering children and women who are socially ostracised and economically exploited.  Education is the key focus for Mahalir Sakthi.
