Inspiration
Good Samaritans today come in many forms. It all started with a story first told over 2,000 years ago…
Vision & Impact
Every program we support gives practical meaning to the term ‘being neighbour.’ This could mean providing a regular meal, a warm place to sleep or a chance for education.

Areas of Ministry
The Good Samaritan is in all of us.
Just before Christmas, a Category 5 typhoon tore through the Philippines, leaving a trail of destruction. Over 1.8 million people were affected. They have since been dealing with the aftermath – homes destroyed, crops ruined, livelihoods snatched away.
Your donation will be delivered in full to the families impacted by Typhoon Rai by our Good Samaritan Sisters in Bacolod, the Philippines.
Sr Anne Dixon explains that, “The worst-case scenarios have been seeing families losing not only their home but all their possessions and often their livelihoods too.”
