Our vision is for a world without poverty and free of conflict, where individuals live without fear of hunger and persecution. A world where compassion is not limited by contrived boundaries, but rather a world governed by compassion and the consideration of the interests of those less fortunate. Nexus Foundation Australia exists to create communities not limited by geographic borders but those that are governed by care, compassion and consideration for all peoples regardless of their colour, creed, political or religious persuasion. We seek to provide support to social entrepreneurship and community development projects that focus on the regression of poverty. Our core focuses are in the areas of Education, Empowerment, Advocacy and Unity.
