Half an hour to go! Let’s help them make it to their target!!

There is just one hour left to support Mary Ward International’s 12-hour appeal for children in Rumbek, South Sudan.

Through our partnership with Loreto Rumbek, healthcare workers travel directly to remote villages to deliver life-saving vaccinations and essential care to children who might otherwise miss out.

Just $20 can help deliver an essential vaccination to one child.

And until the appeal closes, every dollar donated will be matched, up to $25,000.

If you have been thinking about giving, this is your last chance to make your donation count.

Help us make this final hour count.

Zoe Huijer (‘17) has five years of experience representing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the criminal justice system.

Her commitment to Indigenous affairs took root during her Year 10 immersion at Loreto Kirribilli and has only deepened since – through internships in the Northern Territory and Western Australia, and a career spent working exclusively with vulnerable clients across community legal centres.

Admitted in 2021, Zoe has appeared in the Local and District Courts across both
metropolitan and regional jurisdictions, including almost three years based in Dubbo — one of NSW’s most significant regional centres for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. She has worked across Sydney, Western NSW, the Northern Territory and Western Australia, bringing both urban and remote practice experience to her clients.

Harper Gracie (‘21) is a former School Captain of Loreto Kirribilli. Following her graduation, she moved to Melbourne to study at the University of Melbourne.

Supported by a university scholarship, Harper travelled to Kolkata, India, with her sister, Coco (’23), and together they spent time at the Kolkata Mary Ward Social Centre.

During their visit, Harper and Coco were deeply inspired by the centre’s work and the profound impact the sisters and staff have on the lives of some of the most
vulnerable people in West Bengal.

Harper joins us at Federation to share
her experiences, reflect on what she learned during her time in Kolkata, and
discuss how we can continue to support the vital work of the Mary Ward Social
