provide support to those in urgent need. Our goal is to assist and improve the well-being of the world’s poorest people.
For nurses, this can include providing basic patient care, taking blood pressure, dressing wounds and helping to prepare medical equipment.
For student medical students and nurses it’s a good opportunity to challenge themselves and participate in something they realise will be life changing experience.
Volunteers can get hands-on experience working with local doctors and nurses in small local clinics, providing check-ups and basic medical care in low income communities.

OUR RECENT CAUSES
COVID-19 Relief Outreach
FAHWA and partner Health World Pharmaceuticals have teamed up with Canning Vale and Melissa’s Groceries in Western Australia to distribute COVID-19 Relief packs to international students and 457 visa holders that were left vulnerable in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The ‘COVID-19 Relief Care Pack’ is a gender-neutral pack which contains essential hygiene items (e.g hand sanitiser and wipes ), a few kilos of rice, canned goods, pasta, noodles, instant coffee, tea bags and long life milk as immediate aid while they are waiting for monetary relief from their respective employers and universities.
