What we do.

Reledev has 3 types of projects.

International
Development Projects

Reledev has supported 20 education-based projects in 12 developing countries. To implement these projects we work with reputable partner NGOs in each country, currently, our project partners are in the Philippines, Bolivia, Guatemala, and Nicaragua.

Our International Development Projects are part of the Australian Non-Government Cooperation Program (ANCP) which assists Reledev with partial funding and support. Australian private donations also directly support these projects.

We also have volunteered in over 13 different countries with high school and university students to aid in the development of communities locally and abroad.

Volunteer
International Projects

Young Australian volunteers reach out to international communities to provide short term relief, education and encouragement to individuals and families living in poverty. These projects are for 2-3 weeks, fully fundraised by the volunteers. Reledev’s Australian Partners: Creston College, Tangara School and Nairana Study Centre coordinate and manage these projects.

DREAM Australia

In 2015 Reledev began a mentoring program between university students and refugee high school students. Recognising the challenge for refugees to feel welcomed and supported our program is designed to provide peer support to refugees assisting them with individual tuition, leadership programs and genuine friendship.
