Guided by the Gospel, we stand with the poor and the marginalised so they can realise their potential and participate fully in the community. Through access to education and learning of practical life skills, we seek to transform lives.

Mary MacKillop Today is an international development organisation working in Australia and overseas. We build partnerships that create opportunities for self determination through education and the teaching of practical life skills to women, men and children.
We work with local communities in Australia and internationally through learning for life and enabling access to learning opportunities in the areas of education, health, financial inclusion and livelihoods to share practical life skills for self-sufficiency.
Inspired by Saint Mary MacKillop’s mission to reach the margins, the Sisters of St Joseph have continued Mary’s legacy through courageous faith, deep compassion, and a steadfast belief in the power of education through their work in Timor-Leste.
Supporting women in various provinces in Fiji, this project aims to train young women in building leadership skills, financial literacy, and mentoring capabilities.
