 CARAD is an independent not-for-profit organisation working with people of refugee background who now live in Western Australia.
Our priorities are:
- advocating for positive change in the refugee determination process to ensure fair and humane treatment for all
- supporting community based asylum seekers and refugees with emergency accommodation and a small living allowance if they are not eligible for other funding
- coordinating a volunteer program providing English language and homework support to adults and children from a refugee background
- speaking out against mandatory detention
- visiting, supporting and advocating on behalf of people held in detention centres in Perth, Christmas Island and Curtin.
We gladly accept financial donations or sponsorship that will help us to continue our work in the community. Donations are tax-deductible.
URGENT APPEAL TO OUR SUPPORTERS at 16 May 2012
We have an emerging need for gift cards to give to clients so that they can purchase food or clothing.
These are easy to get from Coles/Myer by adding a gift card to your shopping and then send it to the CARAD office OR yYou can also get a Woolworths Essentials or Groceries Only card OR IGA also have cards you can purchase.
We recommend that the sum on the card be between $20 and $50.
