Welcome to our new website
Welcome.
UnitingWorld now encompasses what once was known as Uniting International Mission, Uniting Church Overseas Aid, People in Mission and Young Ambassadors for Peace. All our programs that you know under these names still exist and you can access them under the Programs link.
We’ve moved to the one name of UnitingWorld to make things easier for you to be a part of. We are one organisation and we’re all working towards the same goal - connecting communities for life.
We do this through our program areas:
Uniting Church Overseas Aid - Relief and Development (tax deductible)
Young Ambassadors for Peace - Peacemaking (tax deductible)
People in Mission - Experience
Church Connections - Church Solidarity
you can find information about our range of programs under PROGRAMS, you can read about our partner churches and their countries under PARTNERS, if you’re interested in taking action - whether that being as a volunteer, a donor or an advocate click on PARTICIPATE and PERSPECTIVE is where you will find information about us.
We hope you enjoy our new site. Please let us know your thoughts here.
