About Us
Vision and Mission
At United Way WA our vision is a future where every person is empowered to grow, through education, financial stability and healthy living which are the building blocks for a happy life.
Our mission is to work together to empower and unite communities for positive change. We tackle entrenched community issues by working with our community partners. Therefore we are able to address complex social problems for long-lasting change.

THANK YOU!
Because of you, we were able to raise almost $4,000 dollars for the children of Strelley and Warralong (East Pilbara WA)
Every month for 12 months, 20 children (under the age of five) will receive a new, age-appropriate book, with reading aids for their families. Reading from day one supports children to become school-ready and helps break the cycle of entrenched poverty through education.
Keep the donations coming here:
