We are a not-for-profit charity that makes a difference to people in need locally and globally.
Our Mission Statement: The Mimiki Foundation provides aid and support to those people living on the margins of our society. We provide a strong link between the business community and advocacy groups in order to help realize a more just and compassionate world.
We achieve this by;
- Supporting youth leadership and justice programs
- Building a strong relationship with the poor and marginalized in our community
- Linking with international advocacy groups that have at their core mission, the support and welfare of youth.
The Paddies Van Program
The Paddies Van operates 6 days per week in support of the homeless, at risk youth, elderly and marginalised within the Brisbane region.
The Paddies Van provides street outreach support through meals, support, a listening ear and a friendly bridge between people and community services.
Our Paddies Van volunteers also help with homework tutoring and school support for homeless and at risk kids to ensure all kids have the best chance of completing their education to give them a brighter future.
Youth Programs in South Africa
We support Youth programs in South Africa in order to provide food, medical, educational and pastoral care.
The vast majority of our African recipients live in the township of Khayaletsha in which 50% of the population has been affected by the HIV virus. These people can't afford medicine or basic human essentials such as food ... and need our help to survive.
It was on our first visit to Khayaletsha that we met Mimiki – who prompted the Mimiki Foundation. Read Mimiki's story.
Youth Leadership
We support a senior leadership program for Queensland school students. Each year a group of 20 student leaders are selected from Queensland to attend a three week leadership/social justice program in South Africa. This program is aimed at mentoring future community leaders and bridging the global divide.
By growing our youth leaders, we can build a better future for all people in our world.
