Fundraising Events

We hold many events each year to raise money to fund the programs we provide in Ossu. Each year we attend the Willoughby Fauna Fair and sell handmade Timorese bags, cards and gifts. We also organise charity dinners to raise funds for specific projects. WFOO member Luke in September 2017 is going to walk 40 days totalling nearly 800km from St Jean Pied, France to Santiago, Spain to raise over $100,000 for the WaSH Clean Water project.
