ORAF is supporting the Micah Challenge's health campaign for more government aid money directed to the vital work of meeting MDGs on child and maternal health.
MDG 4:Reduce child mortality. Cut infant and child deaths by 2/3 by 2015
MDG 5:Improve maternal health. Reduce by 3/4 the proportion of women dying in childbirth
We are encouraging ORAF supportors to send a card about maternal health to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Steven Smith. You can send an e-card OR you can see a hard-copy card design online. ORAF does have some hard-copy cards and if you would like these please email Suzanne on shayes@abau.org.au.

Welcome
The Archbishop’s Overseas Relief and Aid Fund (ORAF) was established in 1971 to demonstrate Christian love by responding to the needs of those affected overseas by wars, poverty, disease, injustice and natural disaster.
ORAF seeks to engage with Sydney Anglicans to raise awareness and resources in order to equip and empower communities and churches in the developing world.
Today, ORAF works in partnership with Christian agencies in India, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. Projects include: malaria reduction programs; rehabilitation and building of health clinics; providing education on HIV/AIDs; and working with disabled children and their communities.
ORAF provides development assistance on a non-discriminatory basis and cannot support any activities that have religious, welfare or partisan political objectives.
ORAF is a member of the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID) and a signatory to the ACFID Code of Conduct. ORAF is also accredited as a Base agency with AusAID (Australian Agency for International Development). ORAF supports Micah Challenge and the halving of the world poverty by 2015.
Donations to the Archbishop’s Overseas Relief and Aid Fund are tax-deductible.
