How your gift helps

Tearfund partners with Nungalinya College in the Northern Territory, a combined churches training college for Indigenous Australians. Each year, people from over 100 First Nations communities come to study at Nungalinya.

With Tearfund’s support, the college offers Certificate II level training in Community Services focusing on family wellbeing. The course addresses violence prevention, family wellbeing, and healing from trauma, grief and loss. It’s a valuable opportunity for participants to gain skills in leading their communities through these complex issues, so they can work together to drive genuine, lasting change and build stronger, healthier families.
