St Veronica Welfare Committee was established over 60 years ago by Mrs Eileen Bennett in West End, Brisbane to raise money to assist refugees.
Mrs Bennett chose St Veronica as a symbol of the charity and compassion which should animate our work.
Our goal is to improve the conditions of impoverished communities in a sustainable way through the education of their children, by empowering women and by supporting developmental projects that will enable future generations to find their way out of poverty.
Through sponsorships, thousands of children have been lifted from destitution and enabled to complete their formal education.
Through employment generation, vocational training and animal rearing projects, many communities now earn a decent living.
