YOUR IMPACT AT WORK
A Port Macquarie Adventist Church member, and her grandkids, turned cans and bottles into care - raising $111 for our NightCare program through the Return and Earn recycling program. It was National Recycling Week, and we just love seeing Heather teaching her grandkids that looking after people and the planet go hand in hand. Big thanks to this compassionate trio for showing us how small actions can make a big difference!
We’re grateful for this gift raised by students full of compassion and purpose.
Dear Asian Aid Team, Please find attached a bank receipt for the payment of $360.50 for our Asian Aid Sponsored Child for Term 4, 2025. The money was raised in Term 4 for Christmas themed casual clothes day from Prescott College Southern. Please use any excess money for other children or where the money is needed the most.
CHILDREN
What began as a small step of faith has grown into six decades of hope, care and transformation. From the first classrooms to the first health camps, countless small and big wins, and brave steps forward, every achievement has been made possible because of supporters like you. Thank you for walking this journey with us. Your generosity, faith and care for children have turned hope into real, lasting change - and together, with God's leading, the best is still to come.
Your generous support of NightCare through your partnership with Asian Aid in 2025 will help ensure that a NightCare centre in Cambodia can keep its doors open, providing little ones with a safe place to sleep and grow.
Watch Matt Nathaniel, NightCare Regional Director, react to this act of care.

SANN IS SAFE AT NIGHTCARE
Sann* is just two years old. While his mother works at night in Cambodia's red-light district, she used to worry about where her baby would sleep and whether he would be safe. With no secure place for him at night, the worry was overwhelming.
That changed when she learned about our NightCare program from another mother. When she visited the centre, she saw a clean, safe space filled with care. For the first time, she felt at ease.
When Sann first arrived, he kept to himself, moved slowly, and rarely joined in play. The NightCare manager knew he had already faced challenges - poor nutrition, limited healthcare, and trauma - and needed extra care.
Every night, she stayed close to him, gently helping him stand, play, and feel secure. Little by little, Sann began to trust.
Today, he smiles more, plays with other children, sleeps well, eats properly, and is growing stronger. “I feel relieved. My son is safe,” his mother says. *name changed
