Helping youth build a better future

Across the globe, millions of young people are trapped in cycles of poverty, lacking access to education, skills training, and opportunities that could transform their lives. Street children, orphans, and youth from marginalised communities face various challenges.

At Salesian Missions Australia, your gift is a lifeline for the most vulnerable youth around the world. For over 130 years, Salesians have walked alongside young people in need, following Don Bosco’s vision to give every child the chance to reach their full potential. With a deep commitment to honouring and respecting the cultures and traditions of each community we serve, we provide education, vocational training, safe housing, and mentorship. Through education, we help disadvantaged youth discover their talents, develop their skills, and build futures filled with dignity and opportunity.
